Today I looked up oily skin related to Exemestane. My answer from AI was it can be caused by hormonal fluctuations from the Exemestane. Well isn't it supposed to suppress my hormones not increase them like in my teens when I was an oil slick face?? It clearly says the reduction in estrogen can affect oil gland activity leading to increased oiliness! Well girls, buy stock in Q tips for my ears and shampoo also and I will learn to live with a greasy face again.. Glad the dewy look is in. I guess at 73 I won't be thinking of how wrinkled my face will get this year! Bless all of us going thru this trying time. I use Dawn dish detergent on my hair occasionally! I hope someone gets a laugh out of this. At least I know I'm not imagining this.

I am 60 yrs old. I changed to exemetasane from letrozole. You are not alone. I have also experienced an oily face and pimples! Ive had dry skin for years.
Yes, it confused me too. I also have joint pain and foot pain daily. My hot flashes have gotten worse than while on the letrozole, but other symptoms are better. About one a month, the lining of my mouth seems to shed white stringy stuff. This is more annoying than a burden.
I wish you the best

O! That is too funny!
I am on Exemestane and don't have that dewy look - wish I did!
Dawn dish detergent? Wow! That Dawn always works wonders 🙂
