considering taking again on oily skin

So, i’m 20, and i had severe acne on my face and my chest when i was 12-13 then i had to take an accutane for a year and a half, for a couple of my months my dosage was 2 per day then, it was one and then my acne was gone, fast forward to now i’m 20 and like 6 years off of it i’m super oily.
it is such a problem.

i don’t get pimples on my face, jaws anymore bcus of the accutane, i cant speak for everybody, but yeah i dont get pimples on my face anymore and jaws that was my main problem before but i feel like my body finds an oily spot and creates a space for my acne in that spot for example? my chest again and my ear area. especially my LOBES. this is why i cant get pierced on my lobes or anywhere near my ear area especially. it is super heavily oily in there. and it makes me so frustrated bcus i wanted to get pierced but everytime i think about the healing it just slows down because of my oily lobes. i had a 2nd lobe pierced and it took about 9 months for it to heal because it would constantly have oil build ups no matter how much i clean it and as to that it would give me bumps. it has made me so insecure.

i really wanna take it again because after 30 minutes of applying my skincare i get oily and its an obnoxious type of oilyness. it makes me look like i have so much cortisol going on my face but its just the built up oil on my face. but i don’t know since i’m six years off it im scared of the side effects if i take it again, but i doubt my parents will let me take it again because i’ve been convincing them and everytime i bring it up they immediately shut me off about it talkin about some it will affect my kidney and liver or my organs and such. i mean i dont blame them because i had a kidney problem when i was in elementary but its all good now. but if i do ever take it again is there like some more side effects on it. like another long term one? or like a heavy effect on me besides the mental health thing, i can prepare myself for it and i have had long term effects cus of it, my mental health dryness on every part of my hand/palm and lips. but i’m taking about like more on my physical health and etc? please dont be rude. thank you !
