Suggest Treatment For Oily Skin
i have clusters of oil poppies on my forehead, they are extremely annoying and difficult to deal with. I have tried oil free face wash, exfoliants, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide consistently but nothing has worked. I am confused, I follow an extremely healthy diet, plus, consume all of the water (and more) that i need. I am 15 years old and have no clue what is going on with my skin.

My Dear
Welcome to healthcaremagic!
I have analyzed your symptoms and feel that it is pimples that are bothering you.
1 if you would wash your face frequently, then a good amount problem will go away.
2 The topical anti acne preparations like b Peroxide need to be applied ina systematic way to be effective. B Peroxide should be used in low concentratition preferably 2.55 and applied nightly while clindamycin is applied twice during day
3 You also need to seek an appointment with your doctor for evaluation do LFT and Lipid profile to prescribe Isotretinoin to you which is very effective agent an is especially good for cases like you.
4I ma sure you can avoid oily foods or cosmetics that might be aggravating your condition.
With the above measures, you will gain immensely and will be well soon
