Red Marks on My Face After acne

I admit i popped some pimples, and i got scabs and the fell off. Then i got acne scars that where kind of brown, then i started to use hydroquinone U.S.P 2% and some scars got kind of lighter. Some other scars have always been kind of red/brown and they get really red somtimes.  I used hydroquinone U.S.P 2% on them too. The scars don't seem to fade that much. Why are some scars red and how can i get rid of them. Also, some of these scars ive had for like 3-5 months.

Hi. Do not pop pimples, this spreads bacteria under the skin leading to more spots, it can also lead to a secondary infection, delayed healing time and even permanent scarring.
The majority of acne scarring is superficial and will fade within one year. To spead up healing time try Bio-Oil or Clinique's Even Better Skin tone Corrector.
If you still have active acne ask your doctor for Retin-A, which will clear spots and fade brown marks.
Eloise.
