So from day 1 till day 13 i was getting every day scarring lineair scars with a depth mixed scars. Ive got so depressed, i imedatly stopped the accutane because thats only thing was new to me. I have two children who deserves a mother24/7but this hase getting me so depressed. Before this i was so happy all day long. They are over my face.

@SilaSome people react poorly to Accutane(side effects). IT can be tough on the liver, kidneys, and a whole list of other side effects, look them up 😉 Depression is also a symptom with Accutane, It can mess with your hormone levels and of course you just had a kid(s) so that could be out of balance.

Emil is a great Dr, I don't understand what the problem is. Yes he believes in Accutane, he is a Dr after all.

Fly to Dr Lim if you wish. I don't get what Emil could not treat. Are you asking for your acne to be treated without Accutane, a bit unclear here. Why would it matter if they believe in the Accutane being the cause or not if they can treat the problem - scars.

You sound like you need a general dermatologist not a procedural dermatologist. Have they tested your hormone levels for possible Spiro a drug for hormonal acne? Otherwise IPL could help, photo facials to kill the bacteria. I'd have to see a picture to know what I am recommending though.
