Not picking my skin, BUT!

Dear everyone.
I am a woman of 21 years, and i'm sitting with a frustrated feeling in my stomach.
I ( Like most of the people in here, i believe. ) suffer from acne, but i -never- pick in my pimples. I simple can't make myself do it.
Yet, when the pimple 'dries out', goes away or pops by itself in the shower, it leaves either a red mark or a pigment different where it was on my skins surface.
Will this go away with time, or am i doomed with red freckles all over my face?
The best greetings, Mira.

Red marks and hyperpigmentation from old acne are not true scars and not usually permanent. So no, you are not doomed to have red freckles! :) Try a little 10% glycolic acid. These marks will fade on their own eventually even if you do nothing, but this will help speed up the process.

Thank you for the quick answer! :) But i think i will stay away from the acid while on Accutane.
