hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You are suffering from a very common teenage problem namely acne .Before coming to the exact treatment, i would like you to follow certain precautions: 
1. Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. you can however use oil free moisturizers 

2. Wash your face frequently inorder to keep it dry 

3. Drink plenty of water 

4. Try to avoid eating dry fruits 

5.Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples 

6. Avoid Hair oil 

7. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun 

You might need to apply some antiacne medications like Clindamycin gel over the affected area.

But if inspite of the above measures, you continue to develop the lesions, then you might need a course of oral antibiotics. I would recommend that you visit a dermatologist in that case for proper examination and treatment 
Hope it helps 
Wishing you speedy recovery
