Hi,

I am 26 year old who suffers from cea, Seborrheic Dermatitis, and Acne.

I was recently diagnosed with cea after years of misdiagnoses. When I was

younger my dermatologist thought the redness on my face was simply caused by the

Seborrheic Dermatitis and so I was prescribed topical steroids which I used for

years. I now know that I shouldn't use these and that they may have caused my

cea to progress. I am currently taking an oral antibiotic and Metrogel with

little success. My dermatologist also prescribed Sulfacet-R for me, but I have

found that it irritates my skin even if I try using it every other day. I have

oily skin, but I find that all of these medications cause excessive dryness and

make the Seborrheic Dermatitis worse. I am thinking of trying Differin again, I

tried it once with some success. At first it caused some redness, but I did

begin to notice that my skin seemed to look a little smoother.

In general my skin is very sensitive and doesn't respond well to most

medications. If anyone has any advice for someone with cea and Seborrheic

dermatitis I would love to hear it.

Thank you,

Margaret H.
