Hi Dawn & Kat :)Thanks for posting - great to hear from others with sebborheic dermatitis or related scalp disorders (It's always nice to know you are not alone in having to live with these kinds of things. True, it's not the end of the world but it is quite frustrating at times!). I haven't been to a dermatologist since 1995, but she is the one who told me I had Sebborhea. When I asked her certain questions like how to treat it, what to use, ect. she just told me "use dandruff shampoos". She didn't really seem willing to answer my questions or have what you call a "bedside manner" which you might hope a doctor would have. Now whenever I have a flare up, I call my regular doctor and she calls in my prescriptions. I tried to make an appointment with another dermatologist, but my regular doctor told me she isn't telling me anything different than what a dermatologist would tell me. Well, I just want to see another dermatologist just for a second opinion, to make sure this is sebborheic dermatitis and not psoarsis (I have been told some of my symptons sound just like psoarsis), and for the dermatologist to tell me how to treat it so I might get some relief. I did call the dermatologist yesterday, but they weren't there, just their answering service. Lovely! LOL! I'll keep trying.This morning, I shampooed twice with Neutrogena T-gel, applied Betamethasone Valerate Lotion 1% on my scalp, sprayed Aubrey Organics Primrose Tangle Go on my hair from the ears down, and so far the scalp feels much better!! I am crossing my fingers (and toes) that it continues to give me relief for the rest of the day. I'll let you know. Usually with coal tar dandruff shampoos though, in order for them to work well you have to apply the shampoo, let each application sit on your scalp for a few minutes, and continue using them for awhile. I am really hoping this stuff works. I really hate having to use dandruff shampoo again, but if it gives me relief I'll use it.Let me know how you two are doing and what's working for you. Have a great day!MariaRelated Link:Maria In Mass
