I suffer with red marks from picking at acne, mainly on forehead but some on cheeks how can i make them fade? there's no pitted scars thanks.

4% hydroquinone: Use a prescription lightening cream 4% hydroquinone daily on the red spots, it will help them fade. Every time you have the urge to pick, sit on your hands for about one minute. The urge should pass.
