Is Accutane the best treatment for my skin? I'm mainly focused on scarring more than anything (Photo)

Asked By:rsro

I went to a dermatologist a month ago expressing my concerns with scarring/texture, red marks, and acne. While scarring was my main issue, the PA instantly said accutane saying it will fill in my scars (which I know is not true.) I don't believe my acne is that severe to be put on accutane. I also have several fresh piercings and I don't want them to reject and get affected. Is there any way I can treat my cystic acne, scarring, and red marks WITHOUT going on accutane? Thx!
