Is Ampicillin Safe To Take For Longer Period Of Time?

i'm a male in my early 30's. within the last year, the pores on my nose have become completely enlarged & seemingly untreatable. i seen multiple dermatologist within the last year or so & they all tell me the same thing: drink more water, take more of this, less of that & that it happen with age. i've minimized my routine to just washing my face with 'cetaphil gentle skin cleanser' & using an astringent to wipe my face afterwards. within 5 minutes of doing so, beads of oil start to pour out of my nose pores & as times goes on, it becomes even worse, looking completely oily. any recommendation on what i can do to prevent this, or even just slow it down? it has gotten to the point where when i'm in public &/or having an interaction with someone, it's all they seem to look at, which is really frustrating. & could this be an after effect from taking ampicillin for a long period of time &/or tretinoin?
