Im no expert on Accutane so I dont know exactly what your skin can handle right now. I would talk to your derm about using AHA and possibly working up to peels (glycolic). My derms always pushed tretenoin but I like glycolic better.

The hyperpigmentation(redness) will fade slowly but surely by itself.

Must wait 6-12months before acne scar treatment.

Is it indented? or just Hypopigmentation?

Get a flashlight and try some angular lighting, there you can see if the scars are indented or just pimple marks. If it's just pimple marks it will resolve by itself or you can try putting Retin-A. This will help diminish the hypopigmentation or thepimple marks, but if its indented you need to have some acne scar treatments like lasers, TCA or Subcision. As what others said, you need to wait at least 6 months post accutane to start treating this scars with some invasive treatments.

I've read that rubbing the inside of a potato should help.

Your scars are nothing compared to mine and others. You'll be just fine, it will eventually go away.
