hi, welcome to HCM,
truncal acne are some how recalcitrant and takes time and aggressive treatment for healing.
cap Isotretinoin 20 mg should be taken at night. contraception is must as it has teratogenic property.
take a bath with salicylic acid 2% containing foaming gel.
apply benzoyl peroxide 5% gel twice daily.
hope this will resolve your issue.
thanks
