Can weightlifting + moderate to high intensity workouts make post inflammatory erythema worse? (photos)

Hello, I've been on Accutane for 5 months (60mg dose) with one month remaining. My acne has cleared, unfortunately leaving a lot of red spots (post-inflammatory erythema). I understand this process takes a long time to heal, and I've been sticking to my normal moisturizers, cleansers whilst on this drug. I was just wondering if weightlifting/ moderate to high-intensity exercise exacerbates my condition of post-inflammatory erythema or does it have no effect.
