High oil secretion: various sugestions and guidance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I have gone through the query and after thoroughly analyzing the details I can make out that you have quite oily skin which is now quite troublesome.
It is really bothersome to have something unwanted present on our body. Before I proceed to your issue let me explain you elaborately regarding the condition-
Our skin is multilayered structure and it contains oil glands in it. The main cause of oil formation is basically due to hormones (chemicals which are influencing one or other body functions) in addition to the influence of certain other factors causing its aggravation.
The hormone plays the most important role in high oil secretion and increase the size of oil glands. As the pores or ducts of the glands are blocked so it leads to formation of pimples as well as degradation of oil and swet to give a typical body odor.
There are certain other factors such as application of oily or creamy products, over exposure to sunlight, heat and humidity plays an important role in the same.
In my patients I generally recommend following measure to get better:
- Keep your self away from hot and humid climate.
- Take two times bath.
- Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to be changed two times a day.
- Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.
- Do not sit continuously for long hours.
- You can use any good antiperspirant powders daily.
- Reduce your weight if it is on higher side.
I can also get from your query that you are under medications for anxiety problem too. It is quite often seen that anxiety causes more of hormonal secretion resulting in more oil secretion. So I suggest you to reduce your anxiety state. It would be a good option to go for Yoga and meditation.
Hope this information will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to help.
