Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and scars on face which is because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and it leads to post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
Treatment prescribed is correct your dermatologist. Apply aloe vera gel at night. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for acne as well as marks. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
