I wanted to update that YES, it is in fact a cure and not just a temporary fix! As a test I stopped taking the D3 after two steady weeks on it and nothing has reappeared on my face. I was taking between 2,000-6,000 drops of d3 serum a day. Very exciting.
I have had the condition for most of my life! So I guess it took me two weeks to get my vitamin d levels restored and now that I have done that, my body just needs a bit here and there. Hope this helps someone else suffering from this condition.

Without meaning to, I finally cleared it up using Vitamin D3 serum drops. I bought D3 because I wasn't getting enough sun and started taking about 3-5 drops a day. Each drop is 1,000 iu. Within a day, my skin cleared up. This is not a cure. If I stop taking the drops, I start to get those small bumps and redness again after about 48 hours. But it doesn't take much D3 to keep it under control.
So much better than the steroid prescription cream.
Lime and Himalayan Salt for Seborrheic Dermatitis
Ej (Laguna Beach, Ca) on 08/06/2018
Drink a glass of water with a whole (or half) lime + teaspoon of Himalayan salt every morning on an empty stomach.
Background:
I had severe SD on my face and chest. I was very discouraged when ACV didn't work for me as it has worked for so many others. I was able to combat my SD originally through an incredibly strict diet (no wheat, sugar, dairy etc.). Over time I relaxed my diet and started to notice the symptoms returning. At the recommendation of a friend I started doing lime + Himalayan salt mixed in the mornings and it's been a game changer. I'm no longer on a restrictive diet but am symptom free with the addition of lime+salt.
Hope this can help someone out there - good luck!
Lugol's Iodine Miracle Cure for Seborrheic Dermatitis on Face
Sarah (Chicago, Il) on 02/15/2014
At first I diluted 3% lugol's iodine 50/50 with water and applied it with a q-tip. ?I held the q-tip on the spot for 60 seconds. It burned like the dickens, but it was worth it!?After the second day, I held?undiluted lugol's to the spots with a q-tip. After 7 days it was gone and I applied it every few days, thinking it would come back if I didn't. It never did and I stopped the lugol's application altogether.
Dairy and especially cheese is a huge trigger for my seb derm.
Please try lugol's if you have sebhorreic dermatitis. It has been a miracle cure for this impossible condition!
