Take a vitamin supplement and avoid foods containing alot of fat. Dont touch your face after you eat.

red marks are from when the pimple pops. maybe they popped in your sleep or something but thats when they turn red

Thats not the only time skin turns red.

Pimples turn red just about 99% of the time. At least when I get them. Thats whether you pop them or not.

They may be acne scars, or just pimples themselves. If they don't go away in about a week or so, then maybe schedule an appt. with a dermatologist to figure out wtf they are.

Maybe try using a stronger retinoid like Green Cream.

There's also the possibility of using mild chemical peels like glycolic acid.

There's a whole message board dedicated to red marks over at acne.org . Read as many of the longer threads as you can. There's some really useful stuff over there, but also some crazy stuff you don't want to try.
