Seborrheic Dermatitis

I am actually writing this as I wait 10 minutes before I rinse my hair. I am not in the shower ok. I do not take risks like that and ruin my perfect laptop! Alienware M11X FTW!!! But I can't wait for 10 minutes doing nothing. I can't even stand or sit still in 3 seconds... LOL ADHD?!?

I recently found out I have seborrheic dermatitis. I went to my dermatologist yesterday and they told me, although the psoriasis is not entirely on my face, you have dermatitis. I mean, I'll take dermatitis every freaking day against psoriasis. Why??? Let me tell you why.


First, what is psoriasis??
Honestly. I do not know. All I know it is an autoimmune disease as well, like lupus. You could see it as scaly and red. And the scales, just imagine Goldmember from Austin Powers. LOL
Check this link if you want to know more, after I describe it to you very thoroughly using my own words... LOL Took biology classes and this is how I describe a disease... maybe that I why I didn't finish it... Nah! I was just lazy... maybe I was just bored...


So this is what my Psoriasis looks like...

I searched for psoriasis picture on the Internet... They are so gross... LOL and mine doesn't look like that bad so I just took pictures of mine instead...



Then, What is Seborrheic dermatitis?
I think it usually occurs on hair line or something, most of what I have is on my head, by the hair line and my eyebrows.. which sucks so bad because it is on my face... :( That is my own interpretation... you could look click on this link to read about it more. I will take a picture of it sometime..

So what is their difference? I have no idea... :D I think most of the difference is where it is located and how it looks like. For example, I have some psoriasis on my knee and elbow, and I might have some that on my face as well. But some that are on my hairline might mostly be dermatitis since it mostly looking like dandruff that are oily, rather than dry and flaky like psoriasis should be. For better understanding you could look here for more information on their differences.

Update. So this is how my forehead looks like since I have sebhorrheic dermatitis. See those scaly, round blotches. That is what they are.. my doctor said so... 



  


    
 So here is now what I need to do to make what I have better. I need to upgrade my daily regimen...

L-R: Ointment for my face, oil for my hair, ointment for my body and shampoo for my hair

Having this new medication for my skin problems, which need to be soaked in for a while like the shampoo.. I need to add at least 15 minutes to my daily regimen.

These medication both helps psoriasis and dermatitis. I have been using it for 2 days and I think it has been working. So hopefully in the long run it will work... Wish me luck my loves...

Here is another picture of me... washing my hair... :) I used my tube socks so no soapy water gets in my eyes... :) It helped...

I will possibly learn more as I continue this treatment... I hope I get better soon... :D

Dermatology Appointment

I will be having my dermatology appointment this Friday, 02/24/12. And it's a good time to actually have one.
As my face is getting worse! I need something, much better like maybe a medicine to take rather than a ointment to put.
It is hard living with Lupus and the psoriasis that is on my face and my scalp is not helping either. I know Lupus alone is hard to treat adding psoriasis makes it worse. Having two autoimmune disease at the same time?? Really???

Ugh. I just want my face to clear up. :( I can't just go shouting in the world that I have psoriasis so they would understand what I have on my face. People just tend to judge that I don't shower or stuff. I do shower! and I wash my freaking face!!!

:((

As time passes by...

The longer I am doing this medication, the more I forget to take it.

My doctor said I am looking better. And hopefully, my lab results wont be bad.
Problem that recently occurred after I went to the doctor is that my thumb and some parts of my fingers are soft and swollen, I don't know what is happening but luckily, I have an appointment with my dermatologist 2 weeks from  now. :) Hope all will be better then...

Ugh! Why do I have Lupus?!?

Healthy tastey whole grain breakfast!!

Latest news... :)

***Random Blabber***

Last Tuesday, I went to another doctor appointment. Although she really is not insisting of going on exercise more regular that I do, she said I am looking pretty good. :)

I gained a lot of weight, and no, I am not exaggerating... I went from my regular 145 lbs. (which is already heavy) to.. wait for it... 200 lbs!!! Freaking 200 lbs!!! Good lord! Even the nurse can't believe it. She said I don't look like I am 200! Which I think is good and bad at the same time...

Why good? Coz I don't look like I am 200 lbs. Why bad? Coz it means its not water weight... :(( I need to freaking exercise! Not just go to saunas and sweat!! LOL

Oh well.. I miss one of the lab appointment so there wasn't anything to talk about. the Respiratory test was all good. Nothing that tells me I am sick or something.. So that is Good. :)

 All is good. Still expecting the letter from the gynecologist so I could have my contraceptives. I don't think I would like to do that, but the doctors need that I have 0% chance of getting pregnant. Which is I guess fine. Oh well.. :(

Will be going to another dermatology appointment in a few weeks, so hopefully they could give me something for my face! my face is all bumpy and red!!! it sucks...

But the bottom line is, I am getting better and that's what counts!!
