Or at least your doctor, as Kristin suggests. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scaly-but-oily-skin#post-1716259 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 00:37:00 +0000 ma 1716259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this happen to me and it was a bad reaction to a product I had started using. &nbsp;I stopped the product but the scaly skin continued for a few days afterward. &nbsp;I used my Clarisonic with a gentle cleanser and my normal lotion (Ceravue) until the effects wore off. &nbsp; I also use Retin-A but that wasn't causing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scaly-but-oily-skin#post-1716191 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 20:28:08 +0000 BrieN 1716191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know about this. I had good success with a very moisuring retinol cream combined with glycolic acid. Both were easily purchased on Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scaly-but-oily-skin#post-1716103 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 16:16:52 +0000 Kristin L 1716103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may sound weird, but have you tried using a thicker lotion/cream on that area?&nbsp; I get eczema patches on the back of my scalp (which makes it looks like I have huge, gross dandruff problems) and thick creams seem to help with the big, scaly patches that like to fall off.&nbsp; </p> <p>Have you talked to your doctor's office about it?&nbsp; They may have some good recommendations on how to handle it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scaly-but-oily-skin#post-1715984 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:19:27 +0000 KikiG 1715984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always had rather oily skin, which I have come to be thankful for.&nbsp; Now it is oily and scaly.&nbsp; I've tried various exfoliating products, but it doesn't seem to help.&nbsp; Retin A&nbsp;(backed off to&nbsp;once a week)&nbsp;just makes it worse, but when my face does the all-the-skin-dies-and-sheds thing from it, it is still scaly underneath.&nbsp; Does anyone have any suggestions for me?&nbsp; I am on HRT. </p>
