Allergies Led To Acne. Used Ducray Face Wash. Why Is There Now Dandruff?

hello, i have acne since past 3 years. i never had bad skin but due to my allergies i got them and didnt really pay much of attention to it. but i did consult a dermatologist once. she had/s advised me to use ducray facewash and an oinment to my acne marks. it didnt really work plus there was itching to that area. i stopped using it. after a while my skin became clear. now again m starting to get red skin and yellow pus like boils on my forehead . i do have little dandruff , for which m taking an amway treatment. what would you suggest me for my skin? i have oily skin.

hi
take care of the dandruff first. restrict use of cosmetics. if your skin is sensitive use lactocalamine lotion. for face wash use oil free ones enriched with aloe vera. if the forehead lesions are pus filled you would need an oral antibiotic ointment as well.
