Suggest Treatment For Pimples When Having Oily Skin

Hi.. I am Manohar of age 30 years. Mine is oily skin and oily scalp. Hair gets oily within a day of head bath. Same is the case with my face. Within 1.5 hours of face wash, it becomes oily. Also, I have pimples on my face which normally start as small ones and later turn into bigger ones with pus/blood inside. I consulted the doctor and he suggested to use nadoxin on the pimples along with Minoz-OD tablets for a month. I used these medicines for a month and I do see these pimples coming frequently. Also, he suggested to use Anaphase shampoo for a month. I don t see much results with this Anaphase shampoo. Please let me know a good solution for my oily skin/pimples/oily scalp if any. Thanks a ton in advance.

thanks for asking,
your treatment will take in toto 2-3 mnt.
cap Isotretinoin 30mg (cap Sotret) once daily at night.
salicylic acid 2 % face wash. apply azeleic acid 10% gel once daily at night and clindmucin gel at day time.
go for serum lipid profile before starting treatment.
caution isotretinoin causes cheilitis.
