I've had sebhoreic dermatitis for about 42 years now -- it used to get so bad (when I was in my 20's) that my scalp and face would be a bloody mess -- I now go regularly to a dermatologist who prescribes various lotions and creams for the condition (I think they're all cortisone-based). The one that works best (a liquid to apply to my scalp) always comes with the warning to NOT apply it to the face or ears, it "thins" the skin. Doesn't sound all that healthy...

I am going to try the coconut oil, that would sure beat the strong medications! My scalp is so darned oily, I wouldn't have thought to do that (I'm almost 60 years old and I STILL have to wear oil-reducing foundations and mosturizers).

Thanks for the information, everyone.
