(Question) Please recommend a medicine that is effective for excessive sebum and acne on the face.
Even though I am middle-aged, it seems I have a constitution with a lot of sebum on my face and body.
I am worried because I frequently get acne on my back and chest, and my face is also very oily. I am wondering which over-the-counter medications are effective.
I'm also curious if the oral medication worked for you.
A few years ago, I used to go to a dermatology clinic for laser treatments to treat melasma.
The dermatologist examined my forehead acne and sebum and said it seemed like I had a naturally oily constitution. They recommended getting a prescription, but I heard somewhere that taking the wrong dermatological medication can cause weight gain, so I didn't get the prescription because I was worried about gaining weight.
For those of you who have been prescribed medication by a dermatologist for oily skin and acne, I am curious about the effectiveness and whether there are any side effects.

- 02CommentsAfter laser hair removal, your skin can become sensitive, so moisturizing and soothing care are important. Apply a thin layer of mild, fragrance-free moisturizer, and it is best to avoid hot saunas or harsh exfoliation for the time being. Please also pay attention to sun protection when going outdoors. Care instructions may vary slightly depending on the area treated.631026.10.28
- 03CommentsAcne marks can leave redness on the skin due to inflammation or appear brown as melanin production increases. Recovery times for red marks and hyperpigmentation may vary, and harsh exfoliation can actually worsen the condition. Maintain consistent moisturizing and sun protection, and consult a dermatologist if the marks persist or worsen.765026.10.26
