Arachidonic acid is also essential to the production of prostaglandins, compounds that can lead to inflammatory reactions and are important to immune function. Common painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen work by inhibiting the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins.

"We usually think of inflammation as a bad thing, but in this case, prostaglandins prevented dermatitis, which is an inflammatory reaction. We measured prostaglandin levels in the animals' skin, and when we fed arachidonic acid to the knockout mice, they resumed making these important chemical compounds," he said.

I don’t think anyone wants to be involved in such a grossly anti-Peat thread. Even if omega-6 temporarily reduces seborrheic dermatitis, it is very damaging in the long run.

I’ve had it even when eating insane amounts of omega 6.
It just interests me that mine started after ‘peating’ and lots of aspirin. Also, it’s really not that common outside of infants and those immuno compromised so it’s just interesting that so many on this forum suffer with it.
