Hi madhurima, there are other options to remove acne marks & pigment from back. I have treated many cases with very good results with chemical peels. Retinoid in retino a are not suitable for back, they can cause dryness or may increase pigment if exposed to sunlight. If you have to use them use only at night time. Acne marks also take very long to go away.
