Suggest Treatment For Acne And Oily Scalp
I have had acne & oily scalp since I was 11yrs old. Menarche started at age 12. My teenage years I had back & chest, scalp & face acne. I also had oily scalp. By the end of the day was horrible. The first treatment of Accutane, age 18, it cleared up my back & chest only. I ve tried several treatments of Accutane it didn t work. Inspironolactone didn t work. In my late 30s, they put me on 40mg megesterol(uterine bleeding) and it cleared up my acne and oily scalp. If I stop taking the megesterol it comes back in 2weeks. One dermatologist says the acne & oily scalp will last until menopause.

As per your history, it may be due to acne

You may also require clindamycin ointment after consultation
Wash you face regularly. Avoid sweating. Avoid hot and humid environment
