Suffering From Acne. Taking Isotret, Trtenin. Have Big Lumps In Neck

Question: Hi Dr,
Age: 30
Height: 6`
Weight: 72
Apparently i have been suffering from acne from past 10 years.
The problem is, it reduces for once but then re-occurs.
I Have been consulting the same Dr. since 6 years.
That does tell i probably should have changed the Doc, but she is a very trustable and reputed doc.
However, This is my medical history:
I used to get acne on my forehead in the late teens and then on my cheeks.
In the last few years it started occurring on my back. Though this acne is something i get rarely , the problem im facing is that the dark mark that stays behind when a acne breaks or even if it does not, the marks ofr the dark brown scar stays behind.
The new trouble im facing is that if I shave , i tend to get these big lumps that starts appearing on the neck. this is a bit painful.
So i ve been using Pro-Active Acne solution from past 6 months & the skin is better on the face.
I ve been prescribed with following medicines.
1.> Isotret 20mg, daily once in the night.
2.> Trtenin for the back.
