Kals,
Just to follow up on Fawnie's suggestion, take a look at this, bottom pg 106 -is where it gets interesting.

Most of have got it to some degree/ variation...it's the degree to which it is expressed that is the problem.
And here

Basically...it poops...and your body reacts to it. = SD.
Perhaps this...
The Oil Cleansing Method - A simple, cleansing facial massage for clear skin!
To get the oil production under control. Totally counter intuitive given the mass media...but is very effective. Takes a bit of time though. Everyone is different.
....see your dermatologist first. Get him;/ her to do a scraping to see what it is you are dealing with.

Same problem with the same stuff a couple years ago. I don't have SD though...my dogs get it. Several strains of the organism flourish quite happily on either human or canine host. It can be rather nasty.
And....while I am off on a tangent, many fungi and bacteria have not developed resistance to many of nature's own pharmaceuticals. Several Essential oils are very effective against these bugs.
Just a thought, may be something that you might want to look into.
