Have Acne, Itchy, Oily Skin Turned Into Dry Skin. Why Is This Happening?
I have acne on the side of my face (right and left side closer to my ears). I have never had acne before and am 21 years old. The acne is starting to get itchy (and has not been getting better over the past 2 weeks). I'm not sure what is causing this, as I have had oily skin in the past but now it seems I have dry skin on the left and right sides of my cheek.

Hi,
You are having acne vulgaris.
It occurs due to oily skin you have.
It may be exacerbated by stress, sun exposure, sleeplessness, worries, menses in female, oily food and milk.
Take antibiotics like azithromycine in pulses ..weekly three daysin morning, zinc sulfate daily at night .
Apply clindamycine gel daily at night.
Cleanse the face with antiseptic liquid or salicylic acid containing face wash .
Avoid milk ,ghee and oily food in diet.
Be stressfree and positive.
You will get benefit after few months treatment.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
