So, I've had acne since 13-14, definitely my breakouts aren't as bad as before I only get some pimples before my period but I do struggle with PIE marks and overall redness for which I use Azelaic Acid and a Salicylic Acid spot treatment when I get active pimples. 

Long story short I went to a new dermatologist for my seborrheic dermatitis and she prescribed Uriage DS emulsion on problematic areas but she focused mainly on my acne. She said my face was too blemished and I need to start Isotreitoin 20 mg a day based on my weight for 11 months, that it would change my life in 2 months and I would be unrecognizable, she didn't warn me about any side effects only that I couldn't get pregnant. I didn't know she meant accutane at the time, but I've heard and read so many side effects and thought it was meant for severe acne. She said it would be beneficial overall because it would decrease the oiliness of my face and help with my seborrheic dermatitis and occasional body acne. The routine she provided was AA on the morning with SPF and Adapalane at night 0.1% but I feel that and Isotreitoin is a lot. I'm scared of the side effects, I already have dry eyes and mental issues too. I wouldn't be able to wax and I do walk under the sun on college campus.

I'm wondering if looking at my pictures the risk would be worth it or should I try only Adapalane and AA first. She prescribe another AA, I was using the ordinary but it hasn't help me improve. 

I'm really at a loss, because I only get pimples around my period but she says I need it because I'm scarring. I really thought my acce wasn't that bad and I would only cover it with makeup but seeing tiktoks of people post-accutane makes me see that clear glass skin is what people can get. And I really do want that but I'm scared of the side effects. Also I work at a Hospital once a night and receive artificial light. I'm also on Metmorfin and don't know about the toll on my liver. But nothing else has worked for the past 9 years. Could this be the solution?
