Hi dear ,
Pimple occur on face when duct of sebaceous gland get blocked and infected by bacteria .There are many factor that trigger pimple formation like hormonal changes ,stress or some medications . The black spots you mention in query occur because of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.
I would suggest you to not to prick or touch pimples , exfoliate your skin to remive dead skin and bacterias, wash your face with facewash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day ,avoid over exposure to sun and apply kojic acid cream ( kojivit ) tawice a day after washing face .Also apply vitamin C serum at night . If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , isotretinoin containing ointment or procedures like chemical peel or microdermabrassion.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
