How To Get Rid Of Oily Skin And Marks On Forehead?

Hi doctor my skin is very oily and there are small buttons on my forehead. I was recommended to use facelin-a cream and my dermatologist does a hydrodermabration session along with laser treatment for the acne on my cheeks. I am barely seeing any improvement. Any suggestions ?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Faceclin contains antibiotic clindamycine and it will show its effect over inflamed or infected acne by reducing the duration and by fasten healing.
You should apply this on nodular acne and over the "acne prone areas". Here, you can add benzoyl peroxide gel for buttons on forehead after discussion with your doctor.
For acne scars, you may need several sessions of dermabrasion treatment for adequate effect.
I hope your doctor has advised you to wash your face 3-4 times a day with mild face wash to reduce oily skin.
Hope this will be helpful.
Please let me know if you have further queries.
Take care.
