General & Family Physician,  's  Response
sorry for the mistake,it is was not your question's answer.
From your history it seems that now you may need Isotretinoin .it is a powerfull drug,It is derived from Vitamin A.It targets severe acne by stopping the production of oil and decreasing inflamation,that can lead to scarring.While taking isotretinoin you will be checked by your doctor for side effects through at least monthly follow up visits.
You may also have to take care of your diet,for example avoid fried and spicy things,have plenty of water,fruits and vegetables.Also applying mud mask with lemon drops and turmeric can prevent from scars.
Hopefully my answer is helpfull.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
