To not want to live like this?

[Lagirl20]

Hello

I'll try to keep this short and sweet... I am desperate for a solution!

I am in my late twenties. I have had, since puberty, incredibly oily hair (needs daily washing), incredibly oily skin (complete shiny oil slick two hours after washing), clogged pores and bad hormonal acne.

My body produces an insane amount of oil. I've tried most acne treatments going (creams, antibiotics, etc) and I've tried washing my hair less/not at all but nothing helps. The oily hair and skin must be hormonal. I am desperate to not feel so oily and greasy and disgusting every day. I don't have any other symptoms but this must be a hormonal imbalance. Does anyone have any idea? Is anyone else the same? Has anyone else successfully treated this?

I am thinking of forking out hundreds to see a hormonal specialist. Help! :(

With regards to the side effects of accutane, it's effective at a certain cumulative dose relative to your weight, not a specific daily dose. Therefore, as long as you end up taking x amount in total, you don't need to be on a high dose for it to be effective.

I am on 20mg a day which is half of what they recommend, and have had no negative side effects except slightly dry lips. I know of some people who have done 10mg a day, I just wanted to get the course done quicker.

I'd see the GP & ask for roaccutane for your acne. The Pill is also good for clearing up bad skin IME.I used to have to wash mine every day when younger. The only time I didn't was when I had a body wave perm (which is not your full on 80's poodle perm) .I'm considering again as my hair has thinned with age & it gives you body & natural looking waves.
