How To Treat Oily Skin With Acne On Face, Neck, Back And Chest?
Hi, I m in my forties now but my skin over the past 6 months has become very oily. I Have regular breakouts on my face, neck, upper back, even my chest. The acne is a combination of pimples, blackheads and what looks like cysts as well which hurt. What can I do?
Avoid oil free preparations to face. Use soap and water wash of face frequently. A course of antibiotic like Azithromycin or Clarithromycin may be needed if there is infection in the lesions.
