Brief Answer:
Need for a non oily sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed pigmentation over the face for which you have been rightly prescribed by your doctor .
It is very important to use a medicated sunscreen regularly so as to prevent any further darkening of the skin since sunlight surely increases pigmentation.
If your sunscreen is too oily,you can ask your treating doctor for a non oily sunscreen .I usually prescribe neutrogena dry touch sun block to such patients with oily skin .
Hope it helps
