Fluridil sebutape result.................after about one week. (Topicals)
posted by benji, 08.06.2009, 14:42
Its monday, so I decided to put some strips up on my forehead and see if the fluridil-treated area has less sebum secretions.
I "de-fatted" the areas by washing them and applying some alcoholic sanitary cleanser to them, and dried the areas. Then I applied sebutape to both sides.
After 20 minutes I looked in the mirror to inspect the dots. There is a definite difference. The untreated side definitely had more and larger spots on it. After 45 minutes I looked again and pulled them off. I'd grade the treated side roughly a 3.5 and the untreated side a 5 going by the card that came with the sebutape.
Ive decided to keep applying fluridil for another week or so, and to test again and see how much -more- of a reduction there is at that time. Thusfar, this is the best result Ive had. The other things Ive tried have indeed reduced the sebum secretions, but by less than this result. I'll probably order some spironolactone and test that at a later date also. I dont know If I could recommend fluridil based on this......but its certainly better than nothing. Im anxious to see if there is an imporvement in another week. If so, I'll run out and buy a camera and try to take a good outdoor picture of the strips and see if I can put it up here for everyone to look at.
