First, for the acne, I have never heard of anyone who has had luck with toothpaste. However, you have nothing to lose by trying it.

I am not sure if you are referring to pitting and cystic acne scars or if you are talking about keloids or hypertrophic scars. Your question is not totally clear. However, these scars are notoriously difficult to treat. They can't be totally removed but the appearance of them can be improved dramatically in most cases. There is nothing you can do yourself but there are options available to treat keloids and hypertrophic scars.

Treatments include:
cortisone injections
laser treatment
cryosurgery
surgery followed with radiation

Most of the time, doctors will not do "regular" surgery just to remove the keloid or hypertrophic scar; special specific surgery is required. The reason why is that the chances are good the scar would just return. .

For acne scars, the treatment will depend on the severity of the scarring. Treatment can involve:
chemical peels
laser resurfacing
dermabrasion
steroid injections
soft tissue augmentation (injection of collagen or fat)

Also, you said you saw a doctor but you didn't say if it was a dermatologist. A dermatologist is essential since he specializes in skin issues. Please see a dermatologist to see what options are best for your scar and your acne issues.
