Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I have gone through the pics attached. You are having acne vulgaris(pimples). Acne can involve face, chest, upper arms and back.

To treat the same
Bathe with anti acne soap bar like acnay bar or per over or benzosoft soap
Apply clindamycin lotion in morning and adapalene gel in night.
Take tablet doxycycline or minocycline daily(only after prescription from a doctor nearby)

It might take two weeks to a month to see complete response.
One acne is completely resolved, continue with soap to prevent further flare ups and apply hydroquinone tretinoin combination cream like skinlite ever or melapik ever to reduce marks. Apply this cream in night only.

Hope this answered your query. Take care
