Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for pimples, very oily skin with acne & excessive body hair.

I can get from your history that you have Adult onset acne with related hormonal issues.
For acne: If I were your treating dermatologist then would have preferred to prescribe a gel containing clindamycin 1% at night time with antibiotic therapy. I suggest you to not touch, pinch or pop the area as can cause scars and pigmentation.
For hair growth: the best treatment is by laser hair reduction. It is one of the best methods to get rid of excess hair on body and is free of side effects under expert dermatological hands.

I suggest you to not to take any kind of hormonal treatment like diannete as is meant only for females and can cause serious side effects in males.

You can take further guidance form a dermatologist for best help.

All the best.
