I've always had oily skin. 1.5 + years ago I started taking Avodart. A short while after that I took Estrodil for 3 months. It was Dr supervised and all. Besides everything else, one thing I noticed after starting the Estrodil is that the oilyness of my skin doubled. Now, over a year later my skin (mostly face) is still super oily and I don't know what to do about it.

Any suggestions or similar experiences?

I have the opposite problem - female hormones cleared up my skin and oiliness, and with testosterone I have so much oil, I can solve the world's energy problem. :p

Check your diet for nuts, chocolate, etc.

Use a facial soap that won't clog pores.

Just like the teen age y ears!

My skin got a bit oily at my hairline but not too bad...

No, I am only taking avodart. After 3 months I decided Harmones was not the way for me to go at this time in life.

So that's why my hands are always so dry!
