Is Accutane my only option for chronic folliculitis lasting 3 years? (Photos)

I've been seeing a dermatologist for 3 years about folliculitis on my chest, back, face and neck. Upon stopping Ziana my acne turned into folliculitis. The only antibiotic that worked was Bactrim. I was on it 3 times for 1-2 months each time. It always returns and seems to be less effective. Culture showed staph, biopsy-folliculitis with normal flora. The bumps can be extracted by pressing and appear as solidified oil. I've tried spirolactone,washes,retinoids,diflucan, bactrim oral antibiotics.
