washing it frequently would make it dry and lack of moist, wash it when you take bath and that's enough,if it is causing symptoms like pain or burning sensation visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about my oily skin and I've been wanting to achieve a fairer skin tone. Can you suggest a cream that can help me lighten my skin without causing any side effects? I'm looking for something that works quickly. Would appreciate your advice!

For instant fairness with no side effects on oily skin, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream". Apply a thin layer of this cream on your face once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from any potential sensitivity to sunlight.
