Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hello All, I have very dry skin (seb derm?) to the point it was just peeling off constantly. I would put on my foundation and it would show through instantly. Really gross. Well I went to the doctor last week and he really couldn't do much for me because I'm trying to have a baby. He just told me to find a moisturizer that I could agree with and akne-mycin was good during pregnancy. Well, I went home and thought and thought....I thought about this cream my son was using for a diaper rash. It's NYSTATIN CREAM. I read that seb derm is like a over production of yeast on the face. I looked up this med and started to use it on my face. It's been 4 days now and my face is doing sooooo much better. I have very little dryness and it actually is helping with the rosacea!! I can put on foundation now without seeing flakes. I don't use any moisturizer because this cream acts like one. I'm gonna use this for a couple more weeks to make sure it's under control. Just wanted to let others know. I think a anti-fungal med is what we should be using for seb derm because of the yeast problem. Just a thought and hopefully it continues to work. So far so good!!!
