Hi, I Have Had Minor Pimples On My Face And

Hi, I have had minor pimples on my face and 5 weeks ago, I picked them. They turned into scabs and now they are red spots that won't go away. I went to a dermatologist and she gave me Epiduo because she thought I was there for acne (which really is not the case) She told me to put it on the marks every day at night. It started to burn my skin so she said to put it on every 3 days at night. All it has done is burn these spots and caused some of them to turn back into scabs. I am so insecure and want these gone so bad! My mom won't take me back because the dermatologist said it should work and that I would have the best skin in 6 weeks. The red spots are flat and small but IMPOSSIBLE TO COVER! Please give me your fastest solution.
Sincerely,
An insecure teen girl who cries when she sees herself in a mirror.
