Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The marks left behind by your pimples could be treated by creams and procedures.
You could use a cream containing 2-4% Kojic acid at bed time for 6-8 weeks to lighten the spots.
Use a good sunscreen every 4 hourly in the daytime as sunlight can worsen any pigmentation on the face.
You could get glycolic acid based chemical peels done by a dermatologist. You may need 6-8 sessions at 2-3 weekly intervals depending on the severity of the marks.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
