Hi, i have dandruff problem , even my mom has the problem(my age:18, my mom:53)i have pores and pimples and how to keep healthy skin?

Dermatologist: You have common problems seen in dermatology. For your acne use a benzoyl peroxide based cleanser to start and for your dandruff, aka seb dermatitis you can use your keratolytic shampoo such as t-gel or head and shoulders.
