[Long] I'm Really Depressed. Any Advice?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I made a post here a while ago, which has a lot of information about my situation. You can read it here if you want. If not, the TL;DR of it is that I've tried a lot of different methods to get rid of my severe cystic acne (here are pics) that haven't worked but haven't tried what seems to be the most commonly cited cure, Accutane. I'm a minor, and my parents are pretty firmly against trying Accutane because of the possible side effects; I see where they're coming from, but I think Accutane is worth trying.In my last post, I asked if there were ways to treat my cystic acne without Accutane. I got some insightful replies, but two out of three of them said Accutane was probably my only real option if nothing else had worked. So I approached my parents again, and they agreed to let me see a dermatologist again but are till adamant that I can't use Accutane even if said dermatologist recommends it.I'm not angry with them or anything because I understand that they don't want me to use Accutane because they're concerned for my safety. I'm still depressed though, because none of this feels fair. At this point I'm done even asking for skincare advice, because I already did that and while the advice was sound I can't use it.This kind of question may not be suited for this sub, but does anyone who's gone through this stuff have any advice just for feeling better about a bad situation? Every day I see people with exposed shoulders or chests in real life, on TV, online etc. (because that's a natural part of life) and it's really crushing to feel like I might never be able to take off my shirt or even wear loose-collared clothing again because of all my acne and scars.If this doesn't clear up soon and I'm left scarred for good, who knows when I'm going to have the opportunity to go swimming or go to the beach or something similar and have to turn it down because of this? If I get a girlfriend, I'll even be reluctant to take my shirt off with her. Just thinking of all the stuff I'll miss out on makes me want to break down and cry. I don't want to live my life ashamed of how I look. How can I come to terms with this?
