Yes, I use it for a head and scalp treatment. You will also have to shampoo it out and deep condition. It heals the raw places, burns a bit but helpful.

Would a trip to the Dead Sea help with seborrheic dermatitis?

While the Dead Sea is known for its therapeutic properties for some skin conditions, there isn't specific evidence in the available information about its effectiveness for seborrheic dermatitis.

The Dead Sea's high salt content and minerals have been studied for certain skin conditions, but seborrheic dermatitis is primarily a fungal-related condition that typically responds to antifungal treatments, medicated shampoos, and topical therapies.

Before planning such a trip for therapeutic purposes, it's best to consult with your dermatologist. They can advise whether this approach might complement your current treatment plan or if there are more effective options available.

In the meantime, connecting with others who have tried various approaches can be helpful. A MySebDermTeam member might have personal experience with this that they could share, though remember that everyone's skin responds differently to treatments.
