should i ask my pediatrician for accutane/would my acne be qualifying? also growth plate closure

hey guys, i am 15m and around 3 months ago my acne really ramped up and hasn't been going down. i immediately started using SA, but didnt see results even after 2 months of purging and no success.

I then took a break to let my skin heal before starting BP a week or so ago. I have a meeting with my pediatrician in september, and was wondering if I should bring it up.

My dad had the same amt of acne and he has a lot of discoloration/scarring so am hoping to avoid that.

The only potential concern I have is epiphyseal growth plate closure, since I am a late bloomer puberty-wise and am certain I will grow ~3 more inches in height, so don't want to stunt it.

If you want, I can send pics through PM, don't want to leak my face here.
