Q. My dermatologist prescribed both a gel and a cream for seborrheic dermatitis, but neither worked. Then I happened to clean my face with Noxzema, although I had not used it for 50 years.
The seborrheic dermatitis has gone away. I had already stopped using the prescription medication, so Noxzema gets the credit.
A. Noxzema is a non-soap facial cleanser. Many readers have found it helpful against eczema. Perhaps others with seborrheic dermatitis (a skin condition characterized by flakes, itch and redness, like dandruff on the face) may also find it helpful.
My dermatologist has "frozen" a few what he calls seborrheic keratoses from my trunk area, but I would like to get rid of the rest of them. I read the story about Noxema - can you recommend something else to try? I guess the Tagamet does NOT work for this?
thanks!
I found Aloe Vera gel to be very effective against my dandruff (seborrhea) and it doubles as a hair gel too. I use as close to 100 percent pure as I can find right after towel drying my hair. Maybe it'll also work on the face.
I have a severe case of eczema on my hands and feet. Alove vera has offered some relief, but not enough to stop the worst of the itching. I have spent a lot of money on OTC and Rx meds; with little effect. I will try the Noxema and post the results.
I have a very irritating seborrhea in my left ear and the itch drives me crazy! I have tried many prescriptions, none of which worked effectively, so I'm very thankful to hear about aloe vera and noxzema. I'm off to the drug store right now to get both.
hello... i broke out with eczema in may 2009..not knowing what is was initially i started using something topical to dry it out. i used everything otc.. i soaked in sea salt bath.. oatmeal baths.. you name it. finally i tried Noxema and it has helped tremendously. i am also taking a few capsules of zinc per day; but the Noxema seemed to start working within a few hours. it helps the itching and also made the inflammation go away.
