Problem Skin

Please help my fiance. His symptoms: intermittent redness on tops of cheeks w/itchiness, intermittent dry red patches on forehead, intermittent redness on bridge of nose w/excessive oil production. Severe dandruff on his head, sideburns & beard. HIs face becomes aggravated after shavng and sometimes acts up just from washing w/water. Large amounts of dry skin in his ears.  Also, 10-20 tiny whiteheads from his upper neck to his forehead. Most of these whiteheads form above his lips and on his cheeks. Occasional blackheads in side cracks of nose. The worst is always-present massive pimples/boils from his neck,along his shoulders and anywhere on his back - sometimes on his belly and chest. They are dark red, giant under the skin and eventually form a head and ooze pus and blood.

Sounds like he needs to see a dr to see if he has some kind of staph infection in his blood, that is causing the pimples/boils.

Sounds like possible Rosacea.  Definitely needs to be checked out by a doctor, since it sounds like the symptoms of what ever is going on are pretty severe.
