Understanding your concern. As per your query you have synmptoms of severe acne on the face due to oily skin which is mainly because of the fact that you have cystic acne as acne and pores of your skin become clogged and because of clogging of debris and leads to formation of pus.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Don't use any cosmetics containing much chemicals and avoid use of topical steroids.
- Use medicated sunscreen to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight.
You should visit dermatologist once and get yourself examined and start treatment accordingly. Start with proper course of antibiotics after prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
