So I left work at noon which was awesome. I took off the afternoon b/c I had a doctor’s appointment with my dermatologist. I have 2 skin problems: dry scaly nastiness on parts of my legs from eczema and dry scaly skin on my scalp.
Eczema
MD: Apply a mixture of ½ Aquaphor and ½ Cera Ve Cream 1-2 times per day to hydrate skin.
Translation: When I jump out of the shower I need to quickly with haste mix equal parts of petroleum jelly and good ass lotion and lube up.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
MD: Apply Triamcholene ointment on scalp overnight and rinse with Sebulex shampoo.
Translation: Douse head in mineral oil overnight until oil is dripping and shampoo with a medicated shampoo.
Treatment
MD: There is no treatment, however we can help keep this nuisance under control.
Translation: Thank you for paying me for NOTHING.
WOW – I’m really glad I went to my dermatologist.

My friend Smurf is pregnant. She's 32 years old and 11 weeks along. I met up with her and other festival folk for a weekend project. ... -
I'm kinda scared of brownies. Okay, scared is a strong word. Plus I'm married to a South Asian, does that give me street cred ? ... -
I find you to be a f*cking cunt. I hope there is a special place in hell for a b*tch like you. You never deserved to have children. Here ...

I had SD once too. On my ears! I used Topicort to get the inflammation down, and then started to use Eucerin to moisturize after a shower. Now it's gone, I use a moisturizing soap that does double duty, it's the Dove one.
I sympathize -- I had it on my eyelids back in highschool!
This is why I see no justification for paying so much for health insurance out of my precious paycheck!
Not to compare you to my son, but he had the same issues when he was about two years old. The dr recommended t-gel for his SD, we applied it as an ointment, not as a shampoo and left it on overnight. Cured it in a couple of days. and for his exzema (i know it's spelled wrong!) we used hydrocortisone ointment. after it cleared up we used cetaphil lotion and that's helped a lot.
WCM I'm going to try this method! Thank you. Roonie the only problem I worry about is unexpected medical issues. I'll tell you my UTI county hospital horror story when I was uninsured when I see you.
I second the Cetaphil lotion. Our whole family uses it on our face, and the kids on their body as well. It doesn't sting like baby lotion.
