What Causes Oily Scalp,pimples And Excess Chin Hair Growth?

I have oily hair, I wash it every day but never dandruff. I have trapped sebum and blackheads on my face. I get a few pimples. At the moment my face has the most I have experienced in a while and is really dry in some areas. Either side of my nose and Chin. I also have thick black hairs that grow from the underside, mainly RHS of my chin which I pluck daily.History.I am 33 and when I was 15 took Rhoaacutane for a while which made my skin a million times worse before it made it slightly better. It really dried me out, skin, lips, hair and I would never take it again. I also had a semi undiagnosed issue 2 years ago involving initially thought to be scabies. It wasn t. I went to a dermatologist and was told maybe mild psoriasis or something else I cannot remember the name. I had a scraping and basically it was unconfirmed. I took antibiotics and had psoriasis cream and it resolved.Any information you could provide would be helpful. I feel as though there may be something wrong with me. Food allergy etc. Thanks.

Hi

Sudden increase in oil secretion and excess chin hair may suggest hormonal imbalance.

Polycystic ovaries,obesity and hypothyroidism are some of the causes of hormonal imbalance.pelvis ultrasound,blood sugar levels and Thyroid levels should be tested inorder to identify the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
