Since it returned after going off the pill, it sounds like hormonal acne, right? In my experience, antibiotics (oral and topical) don't really work for this kind of acne.
Do you break out at a certain time during your cycle? If you start to get the really painful pimples right around the same time every month, take an anti-inflammatory before/during that time. I've been trying this and it has mostly stopped breakouts. And a diet full of anti-inflammatory food can really help too. Check out Dr. Perricone's Clear Skin Prescription.

Proactiv doesn't seem to be very effective for hormonal acne problems. Your doctor might eventually come around to Accutane after you've tried out the antibiotics, but research it before you go on it because it's pretty serious stuff.
If products don't seem to help your acne check out Dr. Perricone's skin diet I believe that's the correct book. I saw this book back in 2006 before all the anti-inflammatory diets really started to become popular. Basically this doctor suggested inflammation in the body could cause acne, since he was getting sooo many clients with acne in their 30s who had dry skin or lacked some qualities normally attributed to acne. This is more commonly accepted now, but was a more fringe idea at the time. Anyways, he his clients cut out inflammatory foods (ex: bread, cheese) and found it made a difference. One of my close friends followed the diet for a few years and it helped her acne quite a bit. I imagine even doing a whole 30 type diet would have the same effect.
You don't need Accutane. You need an extreme lifestyle overhaul. I'm talking NO sugar or dairy or refined carbs. EVER. Nothing but whole wheat, a shitload of omega-3's and as many fruits and vegetables as you can stuff in your mouth. Salmon is the best kind of meat. Water is your only friend. This along with exercise and all you'll need is soap to wash your face.
Take it from me. I had cystic acne for years and my girlfriend recommended this book. Changed my fucking life.
