How would doctors recommend i treat oily skin with acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientifically: Your best choice is probably topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated, if not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician. Acne is not related to lifestyle or hygiene and only minimally to diet. It can't be cured until it remits on its own, but can be managed successfully.
