Thinking about taking low dose of Accutane for what I think is folliculitis. Is this reasonable? (Photo)

SFSorrow1968
I was diagnosed with a scar via a biopsy, but derms seem to think it’s unrelated to my current issues. I constantly itch in specific spots and nothing I’ve been prescribed seems to help. The hairs I lose always have a white bulb, but I’ve heard that this doesn’t exclude scarring from being a possibility. I have used ketoconozole, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, corticosteroids, and lots more and nothing seems to help. Would a low dose of Accutane be beneficial?
