Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are suffering from red acne scars.

I would suggest you to use a face wash containing 2 % salicylic acid to wash your face 2 times a day.

Avoid sunlight as much as possible and use a good sunscreen.

The red marks will fade with time.

Mupirocin cream will not help them.

You could also get salicylic acid peels done by a dermatologist.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
