What Causes Oily Skin And Redness Of Skin Allover?

I am 24 years old and have recently (in the past year) noticed some strange symptoms regarding the skin on my face. My face has gotten exceptionally oily and the skin in the creases of my nose burns and stings constantly. I have also noticed little visible red blood vessels on the corners of my nose and a few on my cheeks. I thought it was rosacea but I don't really have pimples or pustules or anything like that. I went to the doctor at my school and he said it was seborrheic dermatitis and gave me an antifungal cream to put on it, but its been almost a week of using the cream twice a day and if anything my nose burns worse. I was also wondering if this could have developed as a result of my Mirena IUD that was inserted about a year and a half ago. What can I do to make the burning stop and the redness go away?
