Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 hi Adam But what about if the flakes are NOT caused by sebderm though. Perhaps not moisturizer is making the flakes worse since the skin is exposed to more irritants. linda Re: Correction Re: Flakiness > > Hello, > I am definitely of the belief that oil and moisturizers are bad for flakines in the long run. Flakiness (seb derm) is caused by pityrosporum yeast/fungus that feeds off oils. This is why people with dandruff are told to not use conditioners on their hair. Yes, moisturizers will soothe your skin and moisturize those dead skin flakes, but in the long run, you are just creating more of a problem. I recently stopped using my moisturizers. The first week or so was awful- I felt like my whole face was falling off. But after a week or so, the flakes died down. I was also perscribed diflucan (10 days) and Loprox cream which I think both helped a lot. > -Adam > staceyiseman@... wrote: > > > << I would think any kind of exfoliation would win the battle but lose > > the war, since exfoliation would make the barrier more impermiable. > > I obviously meant *more permeable*.
