Where? Why? When?: There are several more questions that need to be asked and answered prior to providing a definitive answer. Rough skin is generally due to hyperkeratosis and this can generally be treated with exfoliation. Retin- a is an excellent product as well to control oily skin. However first determine the cause and then definitive recommendations can be made. Start with your internist or dermatologist.

Not a short answer: Where is the skin oily? This is typically a facial problem. Seek consultation with a dermatologist (or facial plastic surgeon if appropriate). Depending on the details of your condition, there are different treatment options. Rough skin can be helped by an appropriate moisturizer. A retinol type product can help with oily skin. A salicylic acid wash may also help, esp. If you are acne prone.
