Scars appear on the face if you dont treat them early.
If the pimples are in clustered or nodular they leave deep marks n scars on the face
They will need proper analysis and treatment.

Greetings.. Pimples are one of the most common problems seen in teenagers and young adults. Many a time one tries to disturb the acne with the help of fingers and eventually land up with a scar or Hyper pigmentated spot. If you are doing this then please stop.
Apart from this I advise you to improve your hydration & hygiene. The spots can be addressed by lasers/peels if appropriate. Whenever possible please get yourself checked by a Specialist. Treatment always requires clinical examination. Good luck
