[Skin Concerns][Trigger Warning] Terrible texture after using tretinoin: Really need help, about to give up

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA, I'm sorry, I really hate getting kind of heavy like this but I'm being honest and I really need some help with my skin. After I had finished Accutane the first time, I was looking and feeling great. Then my primary care physician prescribed me tretinoin cream 0.05%. For the first month or two it looked pretty good. Maintaining the clarity. Then it got progressively worse until I had to stop because there was no improvement at all. My doctor who prescribed it even said that my skin looked "leathery". I used it, as prescribed, for about four months before I had to call it quits. I'm left like this; disfigured, looking gritty and dehydrated and gunky and aged and unhealthy, just horrible. I've been suicidal over my skin's condition for a month now. I quit tretinoin in July, here I am now. What is causing this texture? Clogged pores? Permanent tretinoin damage? I have some scarring but nothing deep and serious and not that much (that I know of). Can Accutane (I'll be starting a second course soon) smooth this out? Is there anything that can be done? I feel miserable and look disgusting. I have a dermatologist and am willing to try anything. I don't think I can take this much longer. Current routine: Purpose Face Wash AM/PM, CeraVe PM lotion for face in the PM, PC Clear SPF Daily Fluid in the AM, Spironolactone 50mg. Skin is a bit combination, but as mentioned before, dehydrated. I will be starting Accutane again soon. I will do anything. Lasers, needling, whatever. I feel so awful. Pics below. Thank you in advance :( http://imgur.com/I2ftcle,517xnRY,ba4osTq,p7m8ZiO,JQ1pY0w,HM5Ejig,bUYp2lC,bEdV7Rg,f2voZoM,LZ3sMO3,uACXEur,gF9xSiz,MywVRPJ,Kxz123U,qY9lJBR,JnuFySo here are my pictures, sorry about how many there are!
