I have had severe acne for a long time. I am currently using a topical salylicic acid, bactrim, and 40 mg isotretinoin daily. I feel like I maybe doing this the wrong way and that these are hyperpigmentation scars. Can hyperpigmentation be treated with isotretinoin, bactrim, or topicals? I am seriously depressed because of how my face looks, why me? Everyone else is normal... Should I consider dermarolling or laser treatments? Thank you all in advance.

Hey, salicyclic acid is good for treating the blemishes topically. But I would not use too many products. Try fixing some parts of your diet maybe, for example cutting out sugars and processed food. Instead introduce vitamins and omega 3s etc.

@LJ What is naturopathy?

@AcneVMI am still not sure what do I have? Acne or hyperpigmentation acne scars? It is quite confusing... I am using only raw honey as a way to sweeten drinks and cutting as many carbs as I can, should I take a multivitamin while on accutane and bactrim? Or too harsh on my system?

I believe you right now have acne + some PIH. I have this as well.
So try to add in vitamins, healthy fats from fish, almonds and coconut milk etc.
And cut out all sorts of unhealthy food. I can give you a thorough overview of this through message if you want.
It can be complex but though a specific diet it can be sorted out :)
