See Dermatiologist: What you describe is uncommon enough to warrant an expert evaluation and treatment plan by a dermatologist.

Simple regimen: I like benzoyl peroxide 2 x daily as it kills bacteria in the skin. Add a salycilic acid wash and a non-comedogenic moisturizer and you have a good start. I add tea tree oil to the regimen to apply to pimples when they do arise and i also recommend a high dose vitamin a supplement like vitamedica healthy skin (has 12, 500 iu vit a in it) and as a result i'm using much less Accutane for severe acne!
