Mild seborrheic dermatitis, insane blepharitis, greasy skin/hair and some cystic acne, horrible almost suicidal ideation and paranoia during pmt. Sebum production in overdrive and godawful night sweats before and during period (even my knickers are soaked through).
GP says to take HRT, ideally a confined pill like lucette for anti androgens but I'm high risk of stroke due to age and only gave up vaping very recently.
Another gp said it's stress..well we can't do anything about ND child, cost of living or the fact we have had a lot of deaths in family over last two years.
A trichologist said I need iron tests done as she thinks I'm anemic which are being done next week.
Dermatologist said to try isotretinoin, which you can't take with dry eyes.
Fucking hell. Who is right and what's going on. I am so self conscious and keep getting styes even tho I'm following eye hygiene for it religiously as just so greasy.

Hi! This sounds really hard. I am definitely getting the dry eyes and dermatitis on my scalp which is insanely sore and itchy. I’m on the combined pill (yacella) and it is the only thing that works for my acne. So I’d be tempted to try that if I were you. I’m now being told to stop as I have high BP and dreading the affects. (I’m 48). Hope this helps and hope you get an expert who understands soon!
