Options: There are many options for improving scars such as topical prescription creams, chemical peels, microneedling, lasers and others. What is appropriate for you will depend on things such as your skin type and hold mature the scars are. You should consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to see what options are best for you.

Many options: If early after your braskout, i would give it some time to resolve. If these are old, you may respond to a variety of resurfacing techniques ranging in degree of aggressiveness from steroid injection on up to surgery. Non-surgical methods such as laser may also provide another option.

Raised scars: The scars need to be evaluated to determine the best treatment options. If there is any evidence of a keloid or hypertrophy, you may consider injecting the scar with a medication (e.g., steroid). Laser treatments may also help such as resurfacing lasers.
