Hi,

This week I did a major revamp on the madamewell.com site. As the seb derm hub expanded, I found that it got harder for you to find the information you want. And who has time to scroll through article after article that doesn’t interest you?

That’s why I made a ‘Seborrheic Dermatitis’ page. It’s divided into multiple different categories which I will subdivide further when one gets too big. Depending on where you are on your seb derm journey, scroll through to the article you want and click. Also, if you haven’t noticed, there is a search bar on your right. Use it.

If you still can’t find your answer, feel free to leave a comment or better yet, email me at sharon.giumelli@madamewell.com

Hope this helps and good luck with taking control of seb derm and your life again!

P/s: To all those who gave me great feedback about my other big project in recent weeks – the product database, thank you. I tried replying to all but if you have a gmail account, Google has blocked my email so I couldn’t reply. If you’re a gmail user, add me to your address book so I can reply personally to you again.

This week I found the Xigxag app. IT IS AMAZING! Unlike Audible and other audiobook apps, there are no monthly subscriptions. Buy only when you’re ready to listen and the more you listen, the less you pay. Prices start at £7.99 ($10.25) per book (which is already great) and will reduce after every five books.

And if you sign up through my link, you’ll get your first audiobook for only £3.99 ($5.12). It’s a bargain no matter how you look at it.

Q: My rash stings like crazy. Is this normal? What do I do about it?

A: Seb derm rashes don’t usually give you pain. However, it can, especially if it affects a large area. It certainly did for me. The main reason for this is the breakdown in your skin barrier so if something even mildly irritating comes in contact with your skin, it increases inflammation.

The best thing you can do at this stage is to wash your face with the gentlest cleanser possible, continue using your antifungal cream, a gentle moisturizer and nothing else. Don’t put anything else on your face. This allows your body to do its thing to repair your skin barrier. That’s key. Once your skin barrier is fixed, it won’t sting anymore.

Stay healthy, happy, safe and rash-free!

Until next week,
