Seborrheic Keratosis Help!

Several years ago I had severe Seborrheic Keratosis on my scalp and eczema on my body. None of the home remdies worked; nor did the ointments and pills my PCP prescribed. Out of desperation, I consulted and Aryuvedic practitioner. (Aryuveda is the sister science of yoga, which focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit focusing on diet and herbal remedies). She advised me to use Winsoria oil (a proprietary Aryuvedic blend) on my scalp in the evening before bed. I'd rub a few drops in and let it sit for up to half an hour, then wash it out with shampoo. I started to feel a difference after a few days and within a few weeks, my scalp was clear - and has remained so ever since. Winsoria oil is available on the internet and it's not too expensive but with the current tariffs, shipping is high - but compared to the cost of prescription medications, it's not bad - and it was the only thing that actually worked. It also worked for my adult son a few years later when he suffered from Seborrheic Dermatitis. For the rash on my body, the Aryuvedic practitioner suggested I rub unrefined coconut oil on the affected areas in the evenings at the same time I treated my head with the Winsoria oil and to let it sit on the skin for up to a half hour, then to shower it off. After all the over the counter and prescription remedies I'd tried that didn't do a thing, I was desperate enough to try anything - even the messy and time consuming methods of gooping my hair with Winsoria oil and my body with coconut oil - and both were surprisingly effective! I would set up in the bathroom and either read or listen to a podcast while oils did their work - and few weeks later both the Seborrhea and the eczema were gone - and neither has returned. I began to feel the results just a few days in so I knew it was worth continuing. As my scalp and skin improved, I began to do the treatments just a few days a week and then eventually tapered off as I healed. I know how uncomfortable and unsightly these conditions can be so I hope you have as much luck with with Winsoria oil and coconut oil as I have!

I’m curious, but was it medically diagnosed as SK, or could it be seborrheic dermatitis? Just in this short thread there are a handful of different kinds of creams and/or oils mentioned. I would love it if there was 100% agreement on just one product. It’s like different strokes for different folks. As far as I know I don’t have SK, but I have seborrheic dermatitis on my bald scalp, along with one Mohs surgical scar (head caved in with a baseball bat look) from 2023, and about 10 AK lesions mixed in. My head is like “40 miles of bad road”. For the AKs I have been using 3% diclofenac, because it’s gentle on the skin, and after having been cut, burned and frozen on the scalp I have told my doctor that I won’t go there again. He understands where my head is at – hence the diclofenac. If anyone is perhaps mistaking SK for dermatitis, then Clobetasol cream or lotion (a powerful steroid) for no more than two weeks twice a day is supposed to help. It has helped me somewhat, but then I haven’t used it as much as I should. I’m more concerned with the AKs. One already turned into SCC.
