Hi. Greetings. Looks like you r too worried firstly... Discuss the problems at length with a dermatologist who'll listen to you, understand your issues and treat you accordingly . you'll need oral retinoids mostly if your skin is so oily. You could consider meeting Dr Renita Rajan or Dr Anuradha Priyadarshini if you ate from Chennai. Warm regards. Dr Govind S Mittal.
