Have you noticed your seb derm gets worse before it gets better?

My treatment has begun relatively recently, but this is definitely a pattern for me: right before some patch gets better, it gets worse. Red, flakey, itchy, stinging, the whole deal - like it won't go down without a fight. Then after a day or two, the area is significantly less inflamed.

Overall, I'm still dealing with a lot of plaque but there's definitely been improvement... But only after it lights up 🚨

I asked my derm if this is a known thing, and she said no. Has anyone else here had this experience?

I'm newly diagnosed but have been living with it for years.
