I am 14 (turned that like 2 weeks ago) and my skin is really oily. I’m a guy. I don’t like oily skin and I take a shower every morning. When I went to brush my teeth tonight, I washed my face with soap (going to start doing this it might help make my skin not oily) and my hair is covering my forehead so i lifted it up and guess what I saw. Millions of little holes on my forehead and above my eyebrows. Grosss I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like this but WHATS WRONG WITH MY SKIN? I have acne there do but I don’t pop them or anything. Below my forehead is super oily and has like little bumps on it and shiny.
I have asthma and atopic eczema as well and is allergic to dust. I use a soap intolerant soap.

What’s the little holes?
How can I make my skin less oily?
Thanks everyone so much for answerng the holes are gross but now that I realize its just pores and its from puberty i feel much better thanks. i might get some acne med stuff like my bro whos 16 and uses it too.
Oh yeah and is there any other way to make it less oily ive heard stuff like holding ice or something works. And also hot showers with the steam or something like that

Two days ago I went to the doctor because I had some discomfort in my vagina and I thought I felt a bump on my labia. I thought it might be a razor bump but fearing it could be Herpes I figured I’d get it looked at anyway. She checked me out and said everything looked okay just irritated and that I had something that looked like blisters in my vaginal wall but that she had poked and prodded at them and I hadn’t reacted so it couldn’t possibly be Herpes because I would have been screaming with pain. She asked if I had done anything new and I told her I had tried the KY Intrigue heat. She went on a rant on how those things should be outlawed and said I had Contact Dermatitis. She didn’t give me any medication only told me to put a cold cloth to sooth the area and if it got too bad to use diaper rash cream, which I did use and it did make me feel better. I asked her if I should get a blood test to be positve it’s not herpes but she said it wasn’t necessary that the bumps did not act in a hepatic manner. I thought everything was fine but last night I got a fever out of nowhere and when I woke up this morning I had several more bumps on my labia. They don’t hurt and they are not liquid filled, they are just hard little bumps and my pubic area feels tender. This is only my second time shaving this area so I don’t know how bad razor bumps can get but this feels wrong to me.

I got allergic contact dermatitis, and when ever it gets itchy it seeps, but I want to know why does it do this and what is it?

- she refuses medical assistance although at times she feels very sick.
- she regards all doctors and pharmacists as incompetent.
- she eats very little (soup for lunch, salad for dinner, no breakfast).
- she suggested drinking only water for one week in order to get rid of contact dermatitis instead of going to the doctor.
- never uses conventional medicine, only plant medicine.
I love her a lot though and I am wondering if she is crazy or if she belongs to some sort of sect. Should I suffer and break the relationship?
