Skin issues (Pimples and Marks)
I have been having pimples since a very long time on my face and I eat fried food a little. But recently my skin (pimple region) has become very dry and started itching and feels rough. I do not have much pimples but marks remain and I have an oily skin type. Please suggest me a medication for making my skin normal and clearing marks and removing the itchiess and dryness. I do possess dandruff.

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. Please send your photos through private chat option for detailed prescription and diet advice. Marks can also be reduced with treatment.
