Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne scars on face since 5 years and skin is oily which is due to hormonal changes and skin has increased sensitivity of getting infected. It could be due to blockage of skin pores. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water. Take antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and you can go for chemical peeling for scars after proper prescription by dermtologist. Apply aloe vera gel at night. You can apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone, Tretinoin, steroid and apply it at night time. Avoid oily, fried and spicy food articles.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
