hi. Judging from your question you seems to have severe grade acne (Nodulocystic).
I would advice you to visit a dermatologist might like to start you on oral Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin when taken orally has entirely different and better results as compared to when it is used topically(I guess you are using topical isotretinoin gel). Oral isotretinoin work wonderfully in cystic acne and is the drug of choice.
