Hi.. please do not continue eumosone M beyond the prescribed duration. Acne can be quite troublesome at your age group. You need to consult a dermatologist to assess tge magnitude of your current skin condition. If active acne is there I woukd suggest to treat it first ad priority and then move on to the scars. There are a number of treatment options available for acne and acne scars. If you have deep scars you may need to go for minor procedures like dermabrasion, dermaroller. Even lasers, particularly fractional laser would be beneficial.
Next Steps
Do consult a dermatologist for treatment of your acne.
Health Tips

Thanks for the query.
Scars are amenable to various treatment options and it has to be customized based on your scar type. Acne scars are basically 4 types and each may need a different approach. The treatment depends on the duration of scar and ability to follow-up. The advance treatment option includes Fractional CO2 lasers in multiple sessions and is currently the procedure of choice. Other options include dermaroller with or without mesotherapy, subcision and some other procedure. Certain patient benefit when oral medications are given concomitantly. Topical creams may be of little use and will supplement laser treatment.
The cream that you are using will not help.
