Since you’ve had severe, persistent acne since 11-12 years of age (now 19) with oily skin and Mullerian agenesis (which may suggest hormonal influences), your acne is likely hormonal + genetic . Picking at pimples worsens scarring, so you need a strong, consistent treatment plan.
For I recommend you you visit best dermatologist near by for better outcome

Your severe, long-standing acne with oily skin and a history of scratching can lead to scarring and may be influenced by hormonal factors related to Müllerian duct agenesis. Effective treatment usually requires prescription medications and strict skin care habits to prevent further damage. Please consult a dermatologist for targeted therapy, which may include oral retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal management, along with guidance on skin care routines.

Acne can be particularly stubborn when combined with oily skin, and scratching or picking at acne lesions can worsen the condition and potentially lead to scarring. Meanwhile, Mullerian duct agenesis, although unrelated to acne, can influence overall hormonal balance, which might indirectly affect your skin. For reducing acne, a multi-faceted treatment approach is often necessary. First, focus on a gentle skin care routine. Use a non-comedogenic cleanser to wash your face twice daily. Look for products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which help to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Avoid using hot water, and don’t scrub your skin harshly. Moisturize daily with a lightweight, non-oily moisturizer to help maintain skin barrier integrity. It’s also crucial to avoid touching or picking at acne as this can spread bacteria and exacerbate inflammation. For more severe acne, prescription treatments might be appropriate. Topical retinoids, like tretinoin, can help normalize skin cell turnover. In certain cases, your doctor might recommend systemic treatments such as antibiotics, oral contraceptives, or other hormone-regulating medications, particularly if hormone imbalance plays a role. Since you’re dealing with severe acne, consider consulting a dermatologist for a tailored plan. They might suggest treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy. Additionally, be mindful to integrate a healthy diet, adequate hydration, and stress management strategies, as these factors can also influence skin condition. If you notice any signs of infection or unusual symptoms, it is vital to seek medical attention. Balancing the skin’s oiliness while addressing underlying hormonal imbalances is key to effectively managing persistent acne, so ongoing medical guidance is essential for more severe or complex cases.
