Evening Primrose Oil cured Seborreich Dermatitis

I suffered Seborreich Dermatitis on my scalp for the last 7 months and I thought I had to live with this disease for the rest of my life. I had huge, itchy, tight scales on my scalp and I was loosing my hair... I went to 3 different dermatologist and they just prescribed me shampoos and lotions. Completely unsuccessful. Then I decided to have a holistic approach to fight this. First, I read that most of the times SD it's cause due to a "leaky gut", which means the gut is so toxic, that leak the toxins to the bloodstream causing skin problem.So, I decided to have a colon cleanse (2 days) and I stop eating dairies, wheat, coffee, sugars and meats. I did this for one week. At the same time I was taking Evening Primrose oil in caps (1,000 mg), one at breakfast, another at dinner. Almost intermediately my scalp stop itching. That was the first sign I was in the path to recovery. I continued washing my hair with special shampoos, but this time the scales were very soft and were loosing without hair attached. Today I'm cured. Free of this disease. I'm also taking a cocktail of necessary supplements to keep myself healthy (Oil, fish, B-Complex, Multivitamin, Probiotics, and of course, Evening Primrose Oil). Make sure your supplements are high quality and the oils, cold pressed. Hope this helps.

I also suffered from Seborrheic Dermatitis on my scalp for 15 years. I tried the typical dermatologist's topical remedies and many of the topical, diet and internal remedies mentioned on this site and others with no improvement. Eventually I tried Evening Primrose Oil. I started with 3 capsules (the symptoms totally disappeared within 3 weeks) and quickly decreased to one. It does come back in the winter months so I up the dose back to 2 to 3 capsules until spring.

It cured my lesions on legs but they came back and I am taking 6000 mg a day. Dont know what else to do. Have a flaky scalp too doesnt itch at all but crust forms in places. Any cures I am so tired of having round lesions like ringworm on my legs and arms, the doctor says it is some kind of keratosis or something and gave me a cream which does no good, it doesnt itch but looks god awful.

Hi A. M., Try urine therapy. Look it up on the net & will tell you about its uses & benefits & does not cost you anything. A friend used it on his scalp with great success. Also elimanate all starches, sugars etc. From your diet, it is acid forming & worsens your problems so change your diet & stick to protein & veggies. You can also start taking bicarb to get your body alkaline & you can check with acid/alkaline ph test strips & adjust the bicarb dosage accordingly. Acidity is our big enemy & can cause all kinds of problems. Usualy when your kidneys are overwhelmed your skin suffers.
