Oily face is due to Momate F cream put on my face and Moist cream applied over it. This is what the local dermatologist prescribed.

Folliculitis most probably
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome Back...
After reading history and seeing the photos,I could conclude that most probably you may be having folliculitis.
Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles,mostly caused by staphylococci. But other resons may be there. Virus,fungus or parasites might cause such disease. You consular dermatologist firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. However, you may follow as below...
- antibiotics like cefixime 200 mg twice a day for one to two weeks
- anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide 200 mg twice a day
- cleanse the face with antiseptic like dettol liq
- improve immunity
- control DM
- improve hygiene
I hope this would help you. If still any query,you are welcome.
Thanks.
