One of the MANY dermatologists that I went to confirmed I had no sebaceous glands. My face doesn't sweat, no matter what and my skin is chronically dry. I'm constantly applying oils and lotions. I haven't had a pimple, black or whitehead in 3 yrs. Here is one link to help you understand about hyperbarics and what it can do for you:

The hyperbarics doc that I went to said that I had low dose radiation poisoning just by looking at my skin. He treats cancer patients on a daily bases who have radiation poisoning from their treatments.
I thought it was stem cell where the doc lipo's your abdomen, separates the rich stem cells, then injects that into your face.
As for hyperbarics, I need to go as I have nerve damage, an annihilation of my oil, sweat & sebaceous glands and no longer have heat & cold receptors and low dose radiation poisoning...all of which have been diagnosed. Was told hyperbarics would help to heal, especially the nerve damage.
As well, makeup and tinted moisturizer no longer adhere to my skin and if that's the case, sunscreen probably doesn't work either...
KikiLisa...my skin is like yours and 2 1/2 yrs later the damages are still ongoing. Has anything or anyone at all helped you? I've researched steadily and no matter what I use or take or do, nothing seems to work. No derm or other specialist seems to be able to help. The only conclusions I've come up with so far are hyperbarics (at least 44 treatments) and stem cell, neither of which I could afford. Have you seen a naturopath?
