Basically im 18 and just started accutane but i have moderately severe acne and i already have scarring and have even more acne that is obvious that it will scar.

It’s highkey stressing me out so please tell me i caught it early by taking accutane at 18 and that they will magically heal themselves just with accutane. Im a poor cel so i wont be able to afford those crazy treatments for scarring

accutane cured my acne but left these shitty scars. I'm pretty sure yes they'll go away with time although I'm coping with tret & microneedling rn

Accutane won't fade them, it will most likely make them worse/give you new ones
Your best bet is fully getting rid of your active acne, taking care of your erythema and then addressing your atrophied spots
Only start treating them after you hop off of accutane, retinoids and peels will work just fine for coloration problems, but you will need lasers and microneedling to fully fade atrophic scars, there really isn't any real topical treatment for those
Try not to use products that will make you break out, unless it's a purge phase, and avoid the sun like the plague, always wear spf 50 at the very least
Besides that, it's all about luck and genetics ig, the way your scars heal after acne is purely genetic and you don't have that much of a say in it, but they will definitely improve as time passes on their own
You can always just fraud it with a beard ig jfl

Subsition first if your acne scars are deep.
Than get laser or microneedling.

Honestly just go with whatever treatment your derm gives you, most effective procedures will require them anyways
Atrophic scars come in many types, so the treatment will be different, you can't know until your acne goes away
Erythema on the other hand will most likely require chemical peels or AHA/BHA creams
Vit C serums and niacinamide are also used for reducing the coloration problems but they're most likely cope
 
Unfortunately no even tho collegain replaces itself faster in ur case, scars of all kinda end up creating a new pattern so it will always stay there unless u do unnatural measures
