Oily hairline?

[basil_555]

Hello,

My hairline gets oily much sooner than the rest of my hair. Has anyone had the same experience? And what to do about it?

Thanks!

yes i am having the same condition but atfter taking finasteride, it went down.but still watever lesser oil i have now seems to be more concentrated on the hairline.well i do some unorthodox methods like powdering my hairline whenever i go out...it help to some extent .....and also oil and and excessive sweating seems to be co related....if i am right, u also suffer from excessive sweating?

in that case, u should try to bring along an hankerchief when u are out at work or play.and use it to dry your hairlline from time to time...i am sure the extra greasiness makes u unconforable as well.....

No, I don't suffer from excessive sweating, but my forehead is almost always greasy!

But, anyway, thanks for your reply, Chewbaca.

i have a similar problem as you can see from my other posts..

I suggest using oil absorbant pads during the day.. look for them near acne treatments at the store.

I've also tried using apple cider viniger. it sounds stupid.. but helps.
dab a little on a cotton ball and then apply to forhead.. it hleps.

Grease on forehead is one of the signs of hair problems uncluding male pattern baldness.

i've always had oily skin..

I'm now taking a mild antibiotic (doxycycline) to reduce oil.. so we'll see if it works!!!!
it should help with inflamation anyhow..

Why do you think an antibiotic (of all things) would reduce oil?

I'm assuming that they're using antibiotics because they have anti-inflammatory properties in them. With this in mind, isn't it possible that the anti-inflammatory action in these antibiotics can reduce some oil production?

I have been having the same prob. Been on Propecia for 13 months now and since my male pattern baldness has been getting worse on the hair line have a lot of oil on my hairline and temple areas. I wash twice daily but man my far head is real shinny due to such excess oil. Can not keep it dry it keeps pouring out. Has anyone else had the same prob on finasteride or Propecia?

Cheers

Been on proscar for 10 months now and for 6-7 months things were better up top but now the oily, dry, itchy crap is back and more hair is falling out. Hopefully it's a temp shed but who knows. I'm going to start using this roid oil stuff i got for psoriasis again and see if it makes any difference. Last time i wasn't sure because of the proscar.

You know, now that I think about it, I recall that certain specific antibiotics have actually been shown to have antiandrogenic properties, so I suppose it's within the realm of possibility that some antibiotics might reduce oil production, although probably not for the exact reason you mention.
