hello Vinay
you should have mentioned the treatment doctor advised you.. Acne is a common problem with oily face.. what you should do is always keep your face clean ..wash your face with some antiseptic face wash two times a day and alays wash your face after coming back from work... do not apply any moisturisers on your face...
medicines you can take 100mg doxicycline once a day i.e. 24 hourly for at least 1-2 months...
drink at least 2 litres of water in a day. do not scrub your face...and also never prick your acne with nails..
sometimes acnes are a result of hormonal changes also.. so if you do not find any relief. you should see a doctor...
hope it helps
