Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you are having few acne lesions which you have scratched.
From your description, the lesions till seem to be infected.
I would advise you to use a el containing 1 % Clarithromycin in the morning and another containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide at bed time.
Do not scratch the pimples.
If the lesions seem to be increasing in size/ number even after 10-14 days of application of topicals, you may need oral antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin.
Drink plenty of water. Have a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
