How to remove excess oil from skin and make it pimple free?

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide is available over-the-counter here in the states and useful to dry up oily skin. Your Clindamycin is good to treat bacterial causing pimples. Go see your family doc for other options or referral to dermatologist. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/acne/ds00169 for more info on treating acne.
