I have used red light and it irrated my scalp and made it more dry. One of the brushes I have Al's had blue light but haven't tried that solely. That might be better and cooler for the scalp.

I’ve used Malezia Urea moisturizer, Malezia cleanser and Malezia Biochemical Clearer Skin for over a year. My SD seems to stay controlled. I added blue light about 2 months ago. It has helped some without any negative results.

I’ll be interested in your thoughts and results on blue light.

Blue light therapy is an interesting approach! It's not one of the most commonly discussed treatments for seborrheic dermatitis, but some people do explore it as an option.

The more established treatments tend to focus on a few key areas:

- Targeting Malassezia yeast with antifungal topicals or oral medications
- Calming Show Full Answer

Blue light therapy is an interesting approach! It's not one of the most commonly discussed treatments for seborrheic dermatitis, but some people do explore it as an option.

The more established treatments tend to focus on a few key areas:

- Targeting Malassezia yeast with antifungal topicals or oral medications
- Calming inflammation with immune-modulating topical treatments
- Supporting the skin barrier through gentle cleansing and moisturizing Since you're only a week in, it may be too early to see significant results — most treatments take time to show their full effect.

It would be worth chatting with a dermatologist about your experience so far. They can help assess whether it's working for your specific case and whether it's safe to continue alongside any other treatments you may be using.
