See your doctor: It will be best if you saw your primary doctor first. They may be able to start you off on a combination of topical and/or oral medications as they think appropriate to use to bring things under control. If they are not comfortable, you will be referred to a dermatologist or similar to evaluate and treat you. Do not scratch, pick or otherwise manipulate your pimples. It will lead to scarring.

Time to see doc..: It seems that this is really distressing you. Since your problem is significant, i would say that you likely need both topical and oral therapies. First: avoid excessive/frequent scrubbing--the harder you do, the worse it will get. I would suggest getting an eval by your doc to have appropriate therapy for you. Best of luck to you.
