Stop picking: The scars will slowly improve if you stop popping the pimples (popping will only cause worsening scarring). Get proper treatment for the pimples such as topicals or oral meds (see a doctor or dermatologist). There are many procedures that can help with your scars such as lasers, ipl, microdermabrasion, fractional resurfacing.
