How can i prevent pimples from leaving scars?

Don't pick!: See a dermatologist for acne recommendations, including antibiotics to reduce scarring from infected tissues being damaged. But more damage is done by picking, so this is critical. Clean skin also helps, as can some dietary changes to reduce oily skin and blocked pores.
