For constipation, follow a home diet that includes fiber-rich foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits (berries, citrus, apples), vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, carrots), nuts (almonds, walnuts), and seeds (chia, flax), and adequate hydration with water, herbal teas, or low-sugar juices.

Isotretinoin is known for drying out your body, which when coupled with the high temperatures outside can dehydrate you. And cause hard stools, which can actually rupture the lining of your anal canal causing something called as anal fissure.
Next Steps
Increase water intake. Atleast 3-4L per day. Less oily or heavy food and more soft diet like curd rice. If it doesnt help, should consult to get a stool softener for the time being
Health Tips
Avoid constipation causing food and stay hydrated
