I have very oily skin and acne on my face. What medications or topical treatments should I use to treat it?

Asked by Female, 21 · 18 days ago

Oily skin and acne are very common and highly treatable. To manage oily skin, start with a daily face wash containing salicylic acid, which helps clear excess oil and unclog pores. For acne, topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide (to target bacteria) or adapalene (a topical retinoid that prevents clogged pores) are excellent options. Always use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated without blocking pores. If your acne is persistent or painful, a doctor can prescribe stronger options like topical clindamycin or azelaic acid. Please consult a healthcare professional to create a safe, personalised routine for your skin.
