Can sebaceous dermatitis be treated with C02 laser or not? (photo)

CO2 laser resurfacing is an excellent and effective treatment option for sebaceous hyperplasia, which are common, raised, yellowish-colored lesions on facial skin.  This laser can also help clear seborrheic keratoses, as well as actinic keratoses.  However, it is not a treatment option for seborrheic dermatitis, or any facial dermatitis.Good luck!

I have never heard the term sebaceous dermatitis, I think you are described seborrheic dermatitis which is a disorder of inflammation in oil glands and is genetic.  There are no lasers or peels that I have found help this, typically they worsen it.  Salicylic acid peels have helped some of my patients since they are anti-inflammatory and help exfoliation.  But you need more long term chronic care with topical creams to help this improve.  You should seek a dermatologist to help.  Best, Dr. Emer.
