Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne with oily skin which is due to stress, hormonal changes and certain medications and oily skin is an contributing factor for your condition. You should use Isotrentoin as it is a very good medication. I would suggest you to clean skin with a lukewarm water twice a day and apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over it twice a day. Do not apply any other cream or oil over it. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics and you can go for laser therapy as well. Pantosal ointment is very effective antimicrobial agent. Apply vitamin E oil at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
