Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Acne is due to adolescent hormones and you will continue to have it till that hormonal influence is over.
Wash your face with a pH balanced face wash, preferably a one containing 1-2% salicylic acid. You may apply a gel containing clindamycin 1% in the morning over pimples and Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night over pimple prone areas. Get these prescribed by your doctor.
Once new pimples stop marks will go in a months time.So treating the active pimples is the best way of treating pimple marks as well.
Avoid creams on your face. Avoid oil on your scalp. Diet is important. Avoid milk and milk products like cheese, chocolates, sweets, sugary foods and drinks. Eat a lot of fruits rich in vitamin A (anything with lot of color).
Hope this helped
Take care
