Hi, I'm new around here and have come looking for help with something that I can't figure out, and my doctor has absolutely no idea about. Infact, he thinks that it shouldn't make any differnece. I'm sure we've all been there with middle-aged doctors who couldn't care less....
Anyway, at the beginning of this year I had OK skin for a 27 year old; as in the odd spot and a bit greasy but nothing to worry about, which was a massive improvement on my teenage skin! In March though I had a miscarriage, which completely threw my hormones into a world of madness. Thankfully, everything has calmed down now with my hormones, apart form my skin, and I still don't know what to do with it.
Let me describe it too you, and if anyone can give me any pointers I would be very greatful. To start, my T-zone is immensely greasy; as in make-up will slide off after 15 minutes at the most. I also have tonnes of blackheads in my t-zone, no matter what products and/or methods of removal I try. I'm getting very spotty too; deep, painful spots usually at the side of my nose and along my jawline. In complete contrast, my cheeks are terribly dry and flaky. I make a point not to wash my cheeks with anything that I would use on my forehead/nose/chin, because it hurts them too much. My cheeks are so sensitive at the moment infact that my old reliable Nivea has made them sting for the last few days.
I'm seriously at a loss with my skin and desperately need help. I start a new career soon (as a teacher) and for myself I really need to get on top of this.
Thanks to anyone who can help
