Hi everyone,

Around November, I suddenly developed severe facial seborrheic dermatitis after having completely clear skin my entire life. Since then, my skin has been burning, flaking, peeling, and constantly oily. I also started getting painful pustules despite never having acne before. Even basic moisturizers like Cetaphil seem to trigger fungal acne-like pustules, so my skin is extremely reactive.

I've been researching Kelual DS Soothing Cream and was wondering if it would be a good option. It comes in both cream and gel versions: which would be better for sensitive, acne-prone skin that's prone to pustules?

If you've used Kelual DS, I'd really appreciate hearing your experience. Which version worked better for you? Did it help control your seborrheic dermatitis without causing breakouts?

I'm also having difficulty finding genuine Kelual DS where I live. If you can recommend another product that's worked just as well, I'd be very grateful.

Hi everyone. Around November, I suddenly developed facial seborrheic dermatitis after having completely clear skin my entire life. It affects my forehead, eyebrows, nose, cheeks, around my mouth, and neck. My skin constantly burns, flakes, peels, feels raw, and is oily.

Within days, I also developed painful pustules on my cheeks and T-zone despite never having acne before. I used Metafil lotion because it reduced the burning and flaking, but I suspect it caused the pustules. After stopping it, the pustules improved slightly, but seborrheic dermatitis is still there. Right now, I'm using nothing because I'm afraid of making it worse.

My skin is extremely reactive, and I can't tolerate SLS or SLES. I also have IBS, GERD, and long-standing nutritional deficiencies due to anorexia, so I tend to react strongly to oral medications.

I've been researching products and came across Kelual DS Soothing Cream (ciclopirox olamine) and C8 MCT oil, but I'm unsure which would be the better option. Also it's a French product & genuine products are also difficult to find in Pakistan (Karachi), so if anyone knows a reliable place to buy authentic Kelual DS, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, would it be better to get the cream or gel version for sensitive, acne-prone skin? And has anyone with both seborrheic dermatitis and acne had success with C8 MCT oil, or did it worsen your breakouts? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've also seen people recommend ketoconazole, tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, and even zinc oxide, but I'm hesitant to experiment because my skin is so reactive.
