Help with marks and spots on face..

Basically, i started to get some pimples on my face, and i guess i did a huge mistake which was that i always popped them without thinking what would the results be; and actually my mom told me that's what i had to do, but now the problem is that the little pimples i had on my face... are becoming red or pinky little marks on my face...Someone recommended me to use Proactive...but then another person told me that proactive just gives me more pimples and i'm really confused now.. what should i do?? how can i get rid of those marks and whenever i get another pimples how can i get rid of them.... the good thing about all this is that....i don't have acne. but i guess if i keep getting more pimples then i'm my way to become someone with acne.

Thanks
