I am 50 years old and have extremely oily skin. It seems to be getting worse as I age. I have had large bumps (they look like pimples) on my forhead for years. A dermatologist told me a long time ago they were from the oil. They are always there and have never gone away. Now I am starting to get them all over my faceFace pain. They are not pimples. I tried squeezing them and nothing comes out of them. I don't know what they are or what to do about them, but I soon feel like I don't even want to go out of the house. My faceFace pain is oily, shiny and sticky half an our after I wash it, and by the time I get to work in the morning, I have to start powdering my faceFace pain. My faceFace pain almost feels like it burnsAirway burn Burn, blister - close-up Burn, thermal - close-up Burns Burns - resources Eye burning - itching and discharge First degree burn Heartburn Heartburn prevention Minor burn - first aid - series Painful swallowing...or like when you go inside after being outside in the cold. I am so tired of so many years of this and trying so many different products that do nothing for me. What can I do? Is there any hope for me?
What products have you tried? Did the dermatologist give you a diagnosis of adult acne?
The standard treatment is oral antibiotics such as OxytetracyclineOxytetracycline-polymyxin b ophthalmic or Lymecycline and a topical retinoid such as Differin (Adapalene 0.1%).
If this results in failure or relapse, oral Isotretinoin (Accutane/Roaccutane) can permanently shrink the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin.
