what can i do about the red acne dots on my face?

Question:

i break out sometimes (not all the time) and if i pop the pimples, they leave red dots on my face for days. then the red dots turn a dark color and stay for a long time. my face looks really bad because there are all these faded acne dots on it. is there anything i can use to get rid of them or cover them up? i use bare minerals foundation...but that doesn't hide them.

Answers:
Order some Pro Active, change your diet, cut out a lot of sweets and greasy foods, and make up is awful and it clogs up your pores even more. Drink tons of water, (which I'm sure you already).

Use pro activ!! You can get it off of ebay for really cheap, its WONDERFUL!!! Ive been using it (just the lotion) its all you need really. Its about 12.00 a bottle off of ebay which is cheaper than the site and it WORKS. I got my best friend a bottle and my sis in law and they LOVE It. They buy it on their own now. Good luck.

There should be something useful here.

First of all, you will be less likely to have these places if you would stop poping your pimples this can leave scaring later in life. Just not a good idea. Try using a makeup foundation that is non-oily based. It will cover better than a powder. Or try a concealer of some sort.

I have this problem too. The only thing that really works is letting time slowly fade them away.

Meanwhile, work on the skin you have now to keep it healthy and prevent new breakouts.

Exfoliate your skin 2 to 3 times a week. Use that St Ives Aprcot Scrub. That does wonders! Use Noxema and hot water every night before bed. And try this moisturizer as you sleep: http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=1057230&web_id=1057230&sf=bs&attr=2512&prev=hp!sf!148!2512 . It's expensive but it's helped my spots tremendously.

I've also noticed that by taking YASMIN birth control, it's calmed down my zits a lot. Once the zits calm down, the spots can heal and fade away...
