Dermatologist,  's  Response
Having pimples over the face fromt he age of 16 years is very natural and it coincides with the hormonal fluctuations which occur at this age. Oily skin with pimples is more prone to get pigmentation from sunexposure, especially if you pick/break the pimples by nails. I will suggest the following:

1. Use oil free sunscreen/ non comedogenic sunscreen like neutrogena ultrasheer drytouch sunscreen
2. Do not pick/scratch/burst the pimples at all.
3. TOpical creams like aziderm 10%/20% or Salicylic acid 1% or Clindamycin gel will be helpful.
4. You can also undergo procedure like 'salicylic acid chemcial peel' to achieve better and faster results
