a lot of serum and oil on far head

camobear777 · Mar 15, 2006

Its been two weeks since I have been off of Propecia. Just happy to see my hormones getting back to normal. Had to stop due to sides and high hormone elevation. My far head area is bleeding serum and oil non stop and it is very hard to control. I use talcum powder but need to add three times a day. I am seeing a Dermatologist next week. Has anyone had these problems due to male pattern baldness and Propecia? The oil is just non stop and trying to get it to ease up. errr.. Thanks!

I get this, my face and forehead are always oily! I can actually wipe the oil off with my hand. Looks like sweat sometimes. I started using a Nutrogena face wash. Expensive , about $10 lasts for 3 - 4 weeks but it seemed to help.

What do you mean by your hormones getting back to normal? Sexually or all around. I've been on Propecia for awhile and don't know if it is having effect on my hormones?? So, when you say hormones back to normal what does that mean?

Curious

very interesting guys.

I also get oil on my forhead and nose. I thought it might be the product I put in my hair but changed brand a few times and it still happens. Whenever I go to the toilet now I use a tissue to wipe my forhead and you can see the oil on the tissue.

I have been using a cleanser morning and night and this has helped a bit. Also moisturiser helped but its really bad still.

I also sweat really bad from the forhead.
