Serious back ACNE

I want to get this medicine called accutane, or I guess they call it isotretinoin nowadays. I just want  to know if anyone has been on it, because I checked the possible side-effects, and it makes me hella scared.

Though, I want it because I have already tried everything and nothing gets rid of my back/chest acne, and I'm scared I will get scarring.. It hurts when I shower or wear a bra, or when I'm trying to sleep. I can't even touch my back. I can't wear clothes that reveal skin, and I can't be intimate without being scared the guy sees my skin condition. 

This is not doing any good to my depression either.

which side effects did you have ?
a lot of infections (particularly in the eyelids, half the time theyd be swollen almost shut for about a three month period in the middle (i was on it for 6 months)), scarring (im not one for scarring in any permanent capacity, but every single scrape and cut i got while on them is still a scar to this day. that doesnt happen to me), my skin was disgustingly dry. my face cracked from the corner of my mouth all the way up my nose and the only way for me to still be able to move my face without cracking and bleeding would be to cover the lower half of my face in vaseline several times a day. i had several nosebleeds every day the whole time i was on them, i got so used to it i wouldnt even wake up during the night when i got them, id just wake up covered in blood. wasnt good for getting to school on time. i got a lot of joint pain and to this day i still dont know if the joint pains i have now are residual form the meds or if the ones i already had just got worse on their own during that time period. a lot of light sensitivity and trouble with seeing in the dark, i still cant see in the dark at all. my eyes were always red and sore and dry, headaches, nausea, cramps, my face got bright red but it passed a while after getting off the meds, mentally i wasnt doing too good either but i was also at the time living under some bad conditions so i honestly cant tell which of those made my anxiety and depression worse



but i would still take them again. it was a horrible half year but getting rid of what was actually my biggest source of shame and discomfort at the time was absolutely worth it

my acne scars faded on their own after maybe two years id say? with active skincare. my scars were mostly visible as discolouration tho, i never got any deep ones or bumps

With scarring I mean, the meds are usually used to people with risk of scarring = did you get rid of the acne completely without the scars, or do u still have acne scars.

Well, it says that the meds can make your depression worse and even cause suicidal thoughts. 

But thank you. I'm just really stressed about the bloodtests and stuff and if it helps with the scars because I'm really ashamed of how my body looks because of this..
