Regarding oily skin — if you want results, real results, there’s
nothing more effective than Accutane, a low dose on 10 mg a few
days/week should do the trick.

Chris,
Since WHEN did SD start thriving on a fungus?
Also, According to an AAD brochure I’m reading, unless your an
infant, food allergies can be ruled out. "SD is not diet related."
"SD is excessive oiliness of the skin or hair especially the scalp
and face."
SD is an oil gland problem and usually found in adults with
conditions of the nervous system. Once again, eliminate stressful
situations in your life and you’ll have less break-outs.

I must say that taking Omega 3 fatty acids ( fish and flax seed oils) had
helped my SD quite a bit. If you do a google search on SD and Omega 3’s you
should be able to find some information about how these good oils help your
skin to produce less sebum. im currently taking 3 tablespoons of organic
flax seed oil a day and dont find the taste unpleasant if it is mixed with
milk. Good luck to you all.

I would try a few other things before using Accutane. From a quick web
search, it looks like Accutane is nasty stuff and the ADA recommends
only using it for the toughest cases of acne. They warn that Accutane
can cause birth defects when used by pregnant women.
Women worry about oily skin a lot; I’m sure there are lots of facial
cleansers out there that can help. I’d suggest trying Cetaphil (the
version for normal to oily skin). Or maybe apple cider vinegar?
