Hi JB,
First of all, don't EVER pop your pimples. This will only lead to scars, and things like the black marks that you mentioned. I had acne when I was younger, and there weren't too many options out there. There are lots now! Have you looked into a product that all the young girls swear by now, that's called "Proactive"? It is not very expensive to try it out (about $20) Also, you can visit an aesthetician, or a dermatologist, and they will be able to help you out. Make sure you wash your face morning and night, and use a good cleanser and astringent, and even one of the over-the-counter remedies for outbreaks. Also try using a clay-based mask once or twice a week. It will help to tighten your pores.
Good Luck :)
