Accutane can increase pigmentation on your face making it look like scarring. If they are pink marks they're probably superficial and will fade completely in a few months. If they do not you can have laser treatment to remove them but do not do this until you've been off the accutane for at least 6 months as your skin is very fragile and may scar or get irritated. x
