May I Use Acne Creams While on Accutane? (photo)

Hello. I'm currently on my 5th and final month of 40mg of Claravis (Accutane) and thankfully it worked BUT, I got acne scars all over. Ice pick on my forehead and both cheeks and some bumpy ones. I am still a bit red on my cheeks. My question is, can I use some kind of acne scar treatment like creams from CVS or home remedies? I am aware that you need to wait 6 months to get acne scar laser removal. Also on my back and little on my chest (brown spots) My skin is sensitive. Thanks!
