Accutane Cured Acne but Left Scars

I've had acne off and on now for the past 4 years. I recently finished using Accutane and now my acne is gone but i have some ugly scars that I didn't have before. They are not that deep but they do have some depth. They are brownish at the bottom. Any idea why they just showed up out of nowhere or how i can get rid of them?

A: Accutane didn't cause your scars--your acne caused your scars

Accutane is the most effective treatment for cystic acne.  Accutane is usually able to bring acne to a halt, but the acne itself is what causes scarring.  Fortunately,  there are good treatments for acne scarring such as laser resurfacing that can be done six months after stopping Accutane.
