Skin Conditions in PSSD Patients

Unread post by IHateProzac »

Hi,

Any of the PSSD sufferers here also suffering from skin conditions like dermatitis/eczema? If so, did it start after PSSD?

I was suffering from seborrheic dermatitis and it has spread a bit since PSSD (not sure it's related)
I have been suffering from Lichen planus since PSSD (two months after windrawal)

Yes I deal with dandruff. I have tried medicated shampoo, but nothing works. I have used Minoxidil as well as SSRI in the past. I know they both have the same side effects.

Read this recently published study about the p53 protein in skin cells being related to the libido.

My theory is that if skin condition and PSSD are connected then there could be a (at least partial) hormonal issue involved.

Whatever the root cause (hormonal or anything), PSSD is as if your body were stuck in "anxiety mode". Anxiety can induce lots of disease, such as... seborrheic dermatitis and lichen planus...

Another question is, has anyone sought treatment for their skin condition and did it effect their PSSD in anyway?

I still use my old shampoo / soap for seborrheic dermatitis. Regarding lichen planus, I try to avoid corticoids...

Yes. Seborrheic dermatitis which gets worse from ritalin, for some reason.
