Excessive Sweating and Oily Skin

Vitamin D deficiency is known to cause both excessive sebum production and excessive sweating. As previously discussed here, Hypervitaminosis A causes a functional vitamin D deficiency even when vitamin D serum levels are ok. Has anyone that suffers from oily skin or excessive sweating noticed an improvement over time from following a low vitamin A diet?

Since low A diet my sweating has increased. Probably because before low A diet my body was in the mode of very low metabolism, my basal temperature was very low, consistently at 35.8 Celsius or lower, so I almost didn't sweat at all. Back then I have tested vitamin D levels which were normal.
Then most probably my vitamin A hasn't yet detoxed completely. Also cauliflower makes me sweat a lot, that's the reason I don't eat it now.

I don't sweat as much anymore, and the only thing that has helped with sebum reduction is extra B5. With some extra B5 and low VA skin gets oily, but not to extremes before, and way less breakouts.

That's great news. I still get an oily nose and scalp but I think I've seen some improvement. The fact that my seb derm has healed and my skin becomes healthier with each passing month on a low vA diet makes me think I'm probably producing less oil.

I have still after 3 years of low vit A diet very oily skin on the nose and around him. As result my pores on it are clogged with some white heads. It is embarrassing as fuck.. I wonder if I should try some chemical scrubs with salicylic acid or something? When I am in my homemade near infra red sauna I use towel as mechanical scrub and after that my skin is clear for 2-3 days so it works, but when my skin is clean with no excess of dead skin on it the oil production is crazy so I have to use toilet paper to soak the excess oil from my disgusting face.. Some people say excess of oil production can be from dry skin? So maybe I should try some gel with salicylic acid for chemical scrub and after that some moisturizer? I don't know.. This is my only issue with the skin.. But because the problem is in the middle of my fucking face it really suck..

Funny, I never really thought of it until now, but yes, I have much less oily face skin than before low A. I had to wash my bangs every morning, now I wash them when washing my hair 2 times a week. I sweat in cycles I think, less and less and then a few days of sweating. I used to sweat way more during wintertime especially in armpits. Now way less I think also in summertime. Some days none at all which is pretty astonishing. If I get nervous, though, armpits go nuts...
However, I have a mirena coil since 10 months, I do not know the impact it has, if any. My guess is it would made me sweat more, if anything. But honestly do not know.

I use to have oily skin mostly on my head and face when I was in the late teens and 20's but been getting drying flakier skin the past decade. Sweating even when running the treadmill was difficult. But this year, I've been geting more sun and doing sauna and weight lift regularly and I sweat much easier now. I think that's a good indication in my case. I wish I can get the oily skin again, I've always had nice skin mostly even with the oily face, but I'm in the upper 40's now so that may be a factor,,,

The thing that has ever helped my oily skin is extra B5. Hard to get extra in the diet, so supplementing small amounts can help.
Supposedly supports fat metabolism via citric acid cycle... who knows, but it does the trick.

This triggered a memory from back in 2013 or 2014 when I was very ill. I was on vacation in Finland, that year was warm, like 30 degrees C. I didn't sweat what so ever and remember thinking how odd it was. Mom and brother went into IR sauna at 45degrees C, and sweat poured off them. I went in for like 40 minutes and not a single drop of sweat. That made me think something was really off...
Edit: a couple years before, I think, I was in a regular sauna a few times. My upper body sweating but not legs. I could come out 30 mins later with pouring sweat on upper body and completely dry legs. With enormous red "circles" on them. I went to see a doctor about it, showed pictures too, but got a shrug...
