Question 1

i have suffering from acne on my skin due to seborrhea dermatitis oily skin, now i thinking to take doxycycline 50mg. what u suggest?

Accepted Answer

Do you have both?: Heads up. It's common to have both of these; I did most of my teens and young adult life. For seborrhea, ketoconazole shampoo is helpful and there are a variety of others; just avoid steroids. Never use an antibiotic like doxyxycline as sole Rx for acne, but it may be very helpful in combination with topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid. The Rx's you're using now are less helpful for this

Question 2

hi, i have got an oily skin and i can't get off the black heads from my nose. is there anyway i can reduce the oilyness and the blackheads? thanks

Accepted Answer

Blackheads: Don't scrub! It just injures the skin and increases the risk of infection.   Your hormones are to blame for the only skin and I don't think you want to attempt changing that.  A salicylic gel or base is probably the most helpful but apply sparingly at night,  starting with a couple of times per week,  increasing nightly.   Use a very gentle cleanser specifically for the face (not for oily skin).

Question 3

swimming good for oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Good exercise: Fitness decisions should go far beyond concerns about skin. It's my sport, and i hope that if you enjoy it, it will become yours as well. Nobody cares if your skin is oily. You can manage acne with benzoyl peroxide or prescription stuff. The benefits of exercise can't be bought and are among the best things life can give. Best wishes.
