I have very oily skin and i have a lot of pimples, do you know of a way that is best to get rid of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: Gently wash (not scrub) with mild soap or cleanser; pat dry. Use topical acne preps with benzoyl peroxide or vitamin a derivatives &/or topical antibiotic like clindamycin. Doc can prescribe oral antibiotic (tetracycline family) for more severe cases or potent vitamin a derivatives for extreme cases. Basically, don't strip skin of all oil; it will just produce more. Use daily spf moisturizer.
