Have rosacea & seb derm.
I get oily in t zone and also dry skin combo. I always wash my face in morning bc I wake up oily but at night sometimes I blot the oil or don’t wash face bc I don’t want to dry out skin more. Curious how many times people with seb derm & rosacea wash face per day not shower… washing face
Trying tear restore Manuka honey wipes. I have mgd, rosacea, seb derm overlap.
I am not sure if the wipes are a good fit or not. At first feels ok. It doesn’t burn, sting. Then after a bit my lids feel a little dry.
I have been getting more debri on eyelashes lately so I want to use wipes to clean it off. I did xdemvy back in Jan. And had very minimal Collarettes. Was told recebt debri could be from overnight oils and flakes getting stuck or from lubrication or maybe it’s dermodex.
Anyway- how do you know if a wipe is not good for you besides obvious symptoms of allergy which I don’t have. I am not itchy after wipe, eyes aren’t going red. My skin on lid though can feel off but not at first. Hard to explain. I was trying to go minimal with lashes but build up kept happening regardless but I wasn’t being aggressive with cleaning debri. At times when I was looking in mirror when I was lightly taking finger across lashes I had whisky flaking and I have seb derm inner corner eyebrows. So it’s just tough trying to get my skin under control even with products bc my skin is sensitive. I tried tea tree wipes too but I find drying also.
I have had chronically low ferritin and iron for a long time. My ferritin was last a 4 earlier this year. I am in mid 40’s and finally had my first ever infusion. I finished last month and had bloodwork the other day to see how my numbers are. I am just so excited bc my ferritin is now 113! And I don’t know when and if it was ever that high! Other iron numbers were normal too!
The infusion went smoothly. I had no issues maybe the first time I felt tired a few hours later that day but that soon passed. I will now follow up with the nurse next week and will continue to try and keep my levels in a good place! Never settle! Continue fighting if supplements aren’t working. I learned I have the mthfr gene so methylated over the counter works best for me.
I just had my period too and heavy so thought that would affect my recent bloodwork and so far so good. Take each day that’s all we can do.
1- Is it necessary to use a face wash cleanser with seb derm? - I also have rosacea. I find many things drying. I was always bad with moisturizer as my skin is sensitive and been trying vanicream not sure if it’s a good fit I have reactive skin barrier so it’s hard to say. My mom never uses a face wash she has no skin issues so for her it’s ok but I feel like I am stripping my barrier with it. I rarely use make up so it’s not like I have to wash it off.
I currently use Zorvye and ketoconazole rotating every other day and sometimes a day off in between. My seb derm is mild-mid. I have had the skin conditions forever but only last year my inner eyebrows got involved. I get acupuncture too and today had it I tend to bleed easily when needles came off and he rubbed the eyebrow area roughly making it inflamed. I look in mirror I see light wispy flakes I think are more dryness and I do get scales too it seems controlled with treatment but I think it could be drying skin so I used vanicream only in that spot where it looked dry and not sure if it’s a good fit.
2- what moisturizer do you use if you have barrier issues?
This rosacea/seb derm overlap is a really bi *ch and annoying. I know we all have to try and figure out what our skin likes and doesn’t it’s tough!
Edit : I just saw a post from someone saying you can scan products to see if it’s yeast safe and I asked chat gbt about vanicream and said it can feed yeast. So I guess there’s that answer for me to not use it.
