Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the pimples as well as marks to have a clearer picture of the condition so that I can guide you in a better way. I also need to ask you few questions:
Have you used any medicines in the past. If yes which medicines have you used?
Are you having acne problem on your face, back or shoulders?

Brief Answer:
I recommend my patients to take capsule doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide gel

Detailed Answer:
Ok..No problems.. In such cases I recommend my patients to start with capsule doxycycline 100 mg daily at night and apply benzoyl peroxide 10 percent gel on the bumps twice daily. For the marks I recommend them to apply a cream containing combination of tretinoin and hydroquinone in minute amounts only at night.This treatment is continued for atleast 6-8 weeks to notice any significant improvement.
Besides this avoid wearing tight synthetic clothes, wear cotton undergarments, keep the area dry and reduce the intake of sugary foods.
I hope to have answered your queries.
You are free to ask if you have any more doubts.
Wish you good luck.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
