Patient: i am having a lot of problems with pimples , especially on my forehead . i can t help but squeeze them because it hurts a lot if there is pus . i have so many scars on my forehead now. i am currently trying fadeout cream, please give some info about decreasing pimples and getting rid of scars. pimples are not deep, and are small. Doctor: Hi,  Thanks for posting on HCM  You are most probably suffering from septic or inflammatory acne (i.e pimples superinfected by bacterial infection). In order to deal with this you will need lotions such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide 5% associated with oral antibiotics such as doxycycline or clindamycin (could be applied topically too). You will need to apply them 1-3 times daily for a month. You can also pay a visit to a dermatologist  for proper review and medications.   Hope this helps
