                        I took accutance when I was about 30 years old for acne on face (cystic) and I never had any more serious problems with acne after that.  Ask your dermatologist about it.  If it's cystic acne accutane can help.  I did have a few nosebleeds from it as a side effect.  Ask your doctor about side effects also.
