Oily Skin, Pimple Marks, Allergic To Dust Pollution, Fizzy Drinks. Treatment?
Hey Doc! I've got a very oily skin that if I get a bit late to cleanse my face in the morning I'll surely get a zit! Moreover I think I'm also allergic to dust n pollution for example if I dust my study table or keep the window open during traveling in car I get pimples ,, I'm allergic to coke n all other fizzy drinks as well. I eat spicy n oily food quite often, don't know whether these kinda food is the reason for my pimples. Right now am having pimple marks for quite sometime n they are not fading since months!

Hi,
It seems that You are having acne vulgaris.
Your skin is oily, so you are prone to acne.
You should avoid oily and spicy food.
You avoid milk also.
Avoid the exposure to dust and pollutants.
Cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash.
Take antibiotic like minocycline for long time.
Apply clindamycine gel daily at night on acne lesions till they subside.
I hope you got my answer.

Hi,
Use Clean and Clear or Neutrogena to wash your face as it is oily.
Due to dust, pollution and oily skin, your face will get oily during the day, no matter what face wash you use. So if you want your face to stay oil-free during the day, you can: Carry compact powder. You can dab it on your face when it starts looking oily, Wash your face again during the day, or Dab your face with tissue to absorb the oil - yes, it works!
You need to correct lifestyle factors like lack of sleep,incorrect diet, drink loads of water.
