@A MySebDermTeam Member -- Welcome, and thank you for your post.

Here in the US money drives everything. The alternative for me after my initial diagnosis is MySebDerm. There is so much excellent information and testimonies from others that it's a way for me not to visit the doctor as frequently as the medical profession recommends.

I have found out what works for me making use of the articles and comments from other sufferers. I calculated that if I were to visit the dermatologist for three (3) times a week at $30. copay ea. visit the money adds up quickly! Treating sebderm can become very expensive as you've noted.

I've tried various approaches based on what I've learned here. What has ultimately worked for me is using a dandruff shampoo for one week then switching to another brand for a week. If I had three (3) visits a week that's $90 dollars for copay! Extrapolate that out and the yearly expenditure is $4,680. completely out of the question for anyone on a fixed income.

I encourage you to dive into the articles and scan the comments from others, and with a little time educating yourself, you may actually be able to keep the condition under control enough to avoid frequent visits to your doctor.

P.S. I use a different washcloth for face--another for showers and baths. Very important to keep washcloths clean to avoid bacteria growing. I put mine in a microwave-safe container and nuke it for a minute or a minute and a half after use.
Hang in there! You're in the right spot. 🌞

All the best! ☺️🌻
