I'm not sure if i have anything to offer but i am in the same boat as you. I did accutane 3 times and the regimen, diet changes, plus every topical know to man, birth control, yada, yada, yada........ I just wanted you to know you're not alone. I am about to try an elimination diet of fish and veggies plus juicing and that will be my final diet change.
Since acne is only on your chin/jawline it cold be a hormonal imbalance so maybe vitamins for men that target that.
Good Luck and keep your head up.

So I guess bcp and spiro are out then.
What products do you use on your face (to shave, wash, moisturize, etc.)?
Have you ever tried an elimination diet, vegan diet, or juicing?
I use edge shaving gel and a gilette 5 blade razor and wet shave about every other day. Gonna try and grow a beard to cover my acne though as a last resort now.
Yes I have tried elimination and vegan diets with very little effect on my skin. I have never tried juicing but would be open to it

The edge could be breaking you out (especially since your breakouts seem to be in places guys usually shave). So could face washes or moisturizers you're using. Try running the stuff you're using through CosDNA (a website) to see if the ingredients in them are comedogenic. Even acne products can cause breakouts. I was using avar-e (rx sulfur cream) and it was giving me big inflamed pimples because it contained waxes in it.
For more info on juicing check out this thread:
Also maybe try an elimination diet? Make sure you're not eating foods and drinks which can be hormonal triggers like soy, flax, green tea, etc.
I'm sorry I'm not more help. Accutane failed me too and I'm refusing to go back on it. I've been able to stop my inflamed acne, but I've got stubborn non-inflamed acne. I'm also about to start juicing.
