The last couple of weeks, I've felt like my face feels constantly clogged and I can smell a weird smell the majority of the time and it feels like it's on my top lip but I don't know if it is. I can't even describe it but it's like a stale smell, maybe oily but not sure if that's accurate. I cleanse my face every morning and night but it has been quite hot here lately and with the combination of AC being on, I think it's drying my skin out and it's overcompensating. But I've never felt this bad before. My lips also feel really greasy and I have a lingering nausea.

I have white horizontal lines on my nails too so I've managed to convince myself that it's some kind of liver problem. I have been noticeably more depressed the last couple of weeks (more so than I ever have been) so I don't know if that's what's causing all of this or if it's just all combined. If there's a problem that's making me depressed.

Could this be just stress or should I be worried about something else? I'm still eating much the same, despite the nausea so I suppose that's a good sign. I don't know what other symptoms might be prevalent with liver disease.

Mention this to your GP and get some blood tests done to rule out any concerns re your overall health.

If you have oily skin, using a harsh cleanser/soap will dry it out causing sebaceous glands to overcompensate and create excess oil. Use mild soap etc that doesn't completely strip skin of moisture and natural pH level.
