Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi I am with Donna. Totally confused. The derm said that I had sebderm but I can't get it under control ( oops make that, manage ) nothing controls it. it controls me. Sad but true. Is is possible to ahve sebderm all over the face. Ack, mine seems to be spreading. now it's everywhere. Just used the Nizoral/hydrocortisone compound from the derm. Anyone have any idea how long it takes the hydrocortisone to thin out the skin. If it takes years, then if I start to use it regularily today, in 5 years, there might be a cure.

This was using 1%, and later .05%. According to Nase's book, it is often a matter of a few months until you hit the rebound point, not years.
