tape/glue for extremely oily skin?

RE: tape/glue for extremely oily skin?
No, there's no particular diet like that. I'm eating regularly/normal... it (the oily skin) all started when I turned 18 (now I'm 37) and my hairloss began rapidly, and I guess the high sebum production is still due to DHT production (I've heard that a lot that a heavy MPB goes along with high sebum production, which, even without wearing a hairpiece, was always very annoying!). I don't take medication against my hairloss, so my DHT level is still natural. Reason why I don't take any of Finasterid or alike is, that I originally really, really, wanted to take it when it started, but I was not allowed to, and now it's too late (Norwood status 6 since I was 23).

When it started (year 1998), I had read a lot on the internet about Finasteride, but as internet was (here in Germany). With that knowledge, I went to (between 1998 and 2000) to see 4 different local doctors to get a finasterid prescription. 3 out of 4 (highly reputated university professors who "specialized" on hair only) claimed (even in 1999/2000) they had never ever heard from something like Finasterid which might potentially stop or slow down hairloss (or maybe even slightly regrow some lost hair). They all insisted, that I STOP caring about my hairloss because "there simply is no such thing as a pill against it" and my one and only chance would be (they said) to simply "ACCEPT" that I'll be bald for the rest of my life. Doctor no. 4 finally said, yes, he had heard about Finasterid, but he would never ever prescribe it because it changes hormonal balance. (And after consulting 4 different "experts", I started thinking, maybe they are right... telling me, there is always a lot of trash on the so-called internet. If Finasteride was serious, we would have known it for a long time. It's our profession, trust us more than you can read as a layman.")

What I have experienced ever since in my life because of the struggle, bullying etc. is way worth than any hormonal change (and had by major depression even still (and harder) side-effects on my metabolism than I had ever read from the so-called post-finasterid syndrome).

When years later, already Norwood Status 6, I went to a specialist for hair transplant, he told me: "Why didn't you start taking Finasteride when it started? Now, it's too late. This is the first thing we describe patients coming to us when they have problem with their hair and want to keep them or improve. Didn't you know? Who should have CARED for your hair by that medical treatment."

I tell you guys, this sucks Sad
