After my hysterectomy, my skin got really dry. I had to use all kinds of moisturizer and kept getting rashes and what not. Now, out of nowhere, my skin has gotten really oily. Like, I could see the oil glistening on my scalp. My hair smells bad if I don't wash it everyday. I'm confused.
I'm just going to have to have my blood done again I think. It could be from swimming I guess. Chlorine dries out your skin and sometimes your glands will excrete excessively to try and compensate for the dryness. I've had this happen once before, and that's when I was taking Danazol, the androgen drug that made me crazy (er). My face got really oily and I started breaking out everywhere. It might be related to my suddenly sore nipples. I've noticed a lot of weird body stuff just coming out of nowhere recently. Who knows.
That is weird. Maybe your skin and hair is finally getting used to the hysterectomy? You basically just described my skin and hair.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. I've never had oily skin. I've always been on the dry side, even as a teenager.
