nothing you eat will help decrease oil production,sorry to sya. but make sure you drink plenty of water, because having dry skin actually makes your skin produce more oil.
go to melaluca.com and order their acne products...the face wash, creme, and liquid.
wash your face in the morning and night, and use the liquid and creme at night.
it works soooooo well for me....the face wash keeps my skin pretty much oil-free for most of the day. keep at it though, missing a day will set you back.
as for scars...i don't know how to help you with those, sorry :(
hope i helped some!

Contrary to popular belief, what you eat effects your skin very little. Unless we are talking about a serious allergic reaction or an extremely poor diet.
The scars may seem like an issue now... But trust me, they will fade. And it won't take very long if your young, either... Because you tend to regenerate skin cells more quickly during your younger years. I used to have very bad acne and very bad scarring... Since then most of my scars have practically disappeared.
I would visit a dermatologist. You may not want to visit a doctor, you may think it's expensive... But really, it's not. The sooner you see a dermatologist the less money you will spend on products that do not work. A dermatologist can look at your skin and tell you what you should be using and prescribe medication that's a lot more powerful than anything you can buy on the market. And if you ask for a generic brand, which is just as good as anything name brand, it's also a LOT cheaper. For example, my dermatologist told me to wash my face with Cetaphil (which you can get at the grocery store and costs about $8.00 for a huge bottle that will last you for months) prescribed two creams that combined cost me about $15.00 out of pocket.
There are also a lot of products out there to reduce the appearance of scars. While you're at the dermatologist, you may want to ask which one he thinks is best.
