See dermatologist: You have been using proper medicines for your acne, oily skin does add to acne difficult to treat ,Benzoyl peroxide and retina A are helping you temporarily . You must continue using these medicines regularly.Adding antibiotics to treatment may help .Discuuss with your other option s of treatment,For oily skin wash and keep your face clean and dry.
