Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Oily skin and Acne are coexist.
For oily skin, salicylic acid face wash once daily, is useful. It will remove excess oil and also would be helpful in Acne because of the exfoliative properties of salicylic acid.
Topical Anti-acne gel e.g clindamycin gel for day time application and benzoyl perozide gel for night time application.
Oral antibiotics like doxycycline might also be required for inflammatory acne for 4-12 weeks depending on the severity.
Acne marks or scars can be prevented by sticking to the treatment regime and avoiding picking your acne.
For existing acne marks and scars, kojic acid OR hydroquinone Or Glycolic acid can be used, once your acne activity is under control
You can opt for salicylic acid followed by Glycolic acid peel sessions from your nearby dermatologist.
take care
