Suggest Medication For Acne And Oily Skin

Hi Doctor, I am staying in a coastal area, in India. Before this I was in the central part of India, where the climate is as it should be during the four seasons. Now after two years of my stay here, I have developed dry and saggy skin.. which sometimes become oily to the max. and apart from this, i have developed acne as well.. which seem to become oily at times. this has really put me into depression as i have always had a clean face with normal skin. i am 27 years of age. kindly suggest what should i do?
Thanks already!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
thank you for query.Acne depend on hormonal effects, sebaceous gland secretion etc.It gradually reduces with age usually in both severity and appearance.So no need to get depressed.So good control can be achieved by regular face wash with cleanser,topical keratolytics like retinoic acid creams and antibiotics like clindamycin, if necessary oral antibiotics.treat if any dandruff with ketoconazole shampoos. consult dermatologist for proper treatment if does not respond .else you can get back to us with photos.
