I don't know which topic to put this under because I have no idea what it is. I want to stress how important this is to resolve, as it's been affecting my life for a few years now. I am very self conscious and i have actually held back from going off to college just because of this. It affects my life tremendously.
When I was about 16 years old I started to notice that my nose
was getting oily. I always dabbed it off. It started to spread to my cheeks as time went on. Around this period i also began to get some acne, so i began washing my face
(i use spectroderm or cetaphil, some times apple cider vinegar) my skin gets dry immediately and the oil starts to show about 1 hour later.
Some symptoms to note that may help you identifiably what exactly this is:
-around 15 I started getting bad dandruff. My scalp would become very greasy and scaly. I still get dandruff and my hair is very oily (just like my face.. oily + dry)
-around this young age I also used to get patches of itchy red skin on my face some times... almost looked like sun burn
-I also used to get flaky yellowish patches of skin on my face
-The inside of my ears and directly behind them are usually dry
-Currently I don't usually get any red patches on my face.. the odd time i just get a white hive looking bump which is really itchy. I just suffer from and oily and dry trunk.
-My grandfather some times gets red patches on his face after shaving. I have seen Rosacea cream in his bathroom before.
-My father will break out with itchy red dry patches around his cheek line about once ever couple months. He applies hydrocortisone cream and it goes away.
