So Ive had a few nasty pimples a few months ago, some time between the months of September-November. They were really big and so I popped them. sometimes pick at them as an anxious habit, because sometimes I would feel really disgusting. It took a few weeks for them to go away/heal but there are marks left. It's mostly my lower right cheek I'm concerned about, marks are very noticeable and red/purple.

I normally put makeup over them when I'm going out and then they aren't very noticeable.
If I really run a finger over them, they feel slightly bumpy. But the bump feels more rooted in my skin than it does feel raised or anything. The marks also look a bit "within" my skin surface too.
I don't pick at them anymore, as there's not really anything to pick of them.

I don't know what to call them. What are they? Lesions? Scars? And I don't know how to treat them either! It seems like IF they ever do go away, it will take quite some time, perhaps a year. Question is.. Will they ever go away? Is there a way to treat them? I feel like scrubbing might make them worse..
