Post accutane, Post inflammatory erythema, Would microdermabrasions help/ other treatments?

RMulla
I have just taken a course of accutane (40mg for 5 months). I am left with a lot of red marks which I initially thought was PIH but was told it is actually erythema. Would microdermabrasions help lighten these marks, which other topicals or treatments would help me?
