The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Desperately need help with Seborrheic Dermatitis.
Hello,I have developed Seborrheic Dermatitis on my scalp, both my eyebrows and all over my nose. The affected areas get red, flaky and very itchy. Cortisone cream does not help so I am turning to alternative remedies.
I am a 27 year old female. I believe the condition started around the time I had my first child almost 1.5 years ago. I have had it ever since and nothing has helped.
I recently made a healthy change in my diet but I am not seeing any improvements so far. Please give me some suggestions of what I can try to heal this terrible condition. I am willing to try nearly everything.
Thank you very much in advance!

A homeo remedy is suggested on the basis of totality of symptoms. Your totality of symptoms point to Kali Carb. If this remedy is able to stimulate your vital force, you will experience improvement in your physical and mental symptoms.
