Avatar n tn I have a new question that I feel confident you can answer. I have extremely oily skin. I have tried Retina A, and a sulfur wash. Neither one helped with the oil, they only made my pores appear smaller. My dermatologist suggested I take Isotretinoin. She said it will shrink my oil glands in my skin. I looked online and haven't seen any result to use this for treatment of oily skin. I am aware of the side affects and pregnancy risks.
Avatar n tn Hello, Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.
Avatar m tn My pores are huge and i have oily leathery skin that is extremely dry. Ive tried tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, topicals, as well as dozen lotions, steroid creams, and moisturizers but none of them help, they cause more irritation and flaking. My skin stings and burns all the time, and swollen from the acne, it causes so much pain. It feels like insects are crawling in my skin. But i dont know what to do. Ive tried everything and i am at my wits end.
Avatar m tn Ever since I hit puberty, my nose has been oily and red and big. When taking a close look in a mirror under white light, I could see a lot of small dilated vessels. Every since that puberty, I have been thinking about it every day every second. I could not concentrate for one minute without thinking about my nose. It has been a nightmare and is so torturous for me to sustain such tremendous amount of psychological pressure.

Avatar f tn I do not apply any sort of makeup on my skin and try to keep it clean. I have very oily skin that I was able to control through isotretinoin however the acne hasn't gotten any better after a 3 month treatment. I am also underweight despite having a normal diet with my BMI being 17. I am really worried about my health issues, can someone please suggest something that might help!
Avatar m tn it can also affect your night vision. It can cause dryness of skin and increase the risk of skin scarring if you undergo cosmetic procedures to smooth your skin like waxing, laser, dermabrasion etc.Intake of alcohol while taking this medication may increase the risk of certain side effects like pancreatitis. There can be increased risk of bone problems, including an increased risk of broken bones. This drug must not be used during pregnancy or by those who may become pregnant during treatment.
Avatar f tn There was a male on this forum who said he developed sticky skin after cancer treatment. Isotretinoin is a retinoid, related to Vitamin A. Overdose of vit A has its own side effects. I am still in extensive research mode, so maybe investigate all this and see if you can relate to anything. Some also say its a mould infection.
Avatar f tn Second baby was a boy. Had no greasy hair nor oily skin. My third was a boy and had no greasy hair nor oily skin. Im thinking im having a girl because her hormones and mine are raging. I feel so ugly. Ive never had greasy hair nor oily skin or acne when I was a teenager or pregnant except with my first girl. I dont know what to use. My face is sensitive already so I use minimal product. I also usually have beautiful natural skin so I dont use makeup except a little bronze.
Avatar f tn Mine was totally fine until I started my third trimester....now it's extremely oily and I have patches of flaky skin that are raw red itchy and very oily....does anyone have some clue as to what causes this and what will make it go away!!??

Avatar n tn maintenance doses of oral isotretinoin in the range of 10-40 mg every other day or 0.05% isotretinoin gel is rarely indicated as a suppressive treatment for widespread disfiguring sebaceous hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin should be prescribed by a physician who is experienced in oral retinoid therapy and only for patients without contraindications.

Avatar m tn Washing does little to seem to stop the oil production and in many cases makes things seem to get even more oily with irritation. Are there medications that can help reduce oily skin?

Avatar f tn I'm having a boy and the same thing happens to me. My cheeks and t zone are dry but my nose is oily. I use the gel lotion from clinique because it's really lightweight or just put lotion on the dry spots. Have you tried a less harsh cleanser?

6706619 tn?1391316843 its not a home remedy, but I had this same problem and tried so so much everything either made my skin too oily or too dry but I bought clean and clear advantage acne control, took the oily skin away, cleared my acne and made my skin super soft all the time!
Avatar n tn hi i would say the same as the others probally due to oily skin try using a face scrub for oily skin dont use to much moisturiser try and find one that is suited to ur skin type. i find the clean and clear for oily skin range is great but everyone is different.try keeping ur hair out of your face as this can cause oily skin and drink plenty of water and get plenty of fresh air.oily skin is nothing to worry about as it is just your skin type that can be managed.hope this helps.
