Members shared deep frustration about finding effective seborrheic dermatitis treatments, with many describing years or even decades of trial and error, emphasizing that what works varies from person to person and may only help temporarily. Several members found relief with Zoryve foam, though many noted its prohibitive cost of $800–$1,000 per can and limited insurance coverage, while others mentioned trying ketoconazole cream, hydrocortisone, hypochlorous acid, or reducing salt intake with mixed results. A recurring theme was the relentless cycle of itching, flaking, and inflammation that worsens with heat or sweating, the emotional toll of visible symptoms leading to isolation and embarrassment, and the ongoing search for affordable, lasting solutions that address both the rash and the persistent itch.

I was reading in resources that sweating causes it to get worse. I know it makes mine worse because both times I’ve had it, it was in the summer. It got really bad when our summer was so hot.

Hey people,just found out the main cause of dermatitis,(SALT) it causes skin inflammation. Lower your salt intake! This was a study done at a university.

Believe it or not I just picked up a can of it out at the BX PHARMACY at Travis AFB in California today major miracles do happen sometimes!!!ive been a military dependent my entire life my dad was a marine/army officer and both of my husbands were in the Air Force for 20 years so I know how hard it is to get them to pay for ANY new med much less any they consider “unnecessary “ if you haven’t provided proof of in years of paperwork prior to getting it that it’s the only thing that will help you!!!!! I’ll be keeping everyone informed on how well this Zoryve topical foam works for me and what, if any, side effects I may have……

I'm frustrated as well. Also afraid I will have to let the gray hair grow out, since coloring my haie causes a flair up of dermatitis!
