Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Post acne red marks are actually due to a combination of scar erythema and some amount of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Though this resolves with time, you could go for a Pulse Dye Laser OR Intense pulsed Light therapy from a dermatologist for faster resolution.
It is important to use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day. Once daily night application of Azaleic acid cream/gel is also helpful for reducing the post acne pigmentation of acne scars.
