Accutane for inherited oily skin?

Pioneering278309
I'm male 24 years old and I am struggling with extremely oily skin. The cause may very likely be genetic since my dad still has very oily complexion at 57. I tried everything from diet to lotions etc. but to be honest nothing has worked for me. I feel a little hopeless since it really affects my well being and I just can't find a proper solution. So my question is what are possible options and if Accutane was a viable route what dosage is used for treating oily skin and how long can it be taken?
