Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pimples can occur due to causes like Oily skin,Clogged pores,Hormonal Imbalances,Bacterial infection,Inflammation,Excess sun exposure etc.

On the other hand scars/holes are left when the pimples are deep and aggressive..
Yes, popping the pimples can increase inflammation and cause scar formation..

Scars are of different types like Boxcar scars, waterpik scars, rolling border type and the treatment is not completely done with topical medications and you might need certain chair side techniques depending upon type of scars like Microdermabrasion, microneedling,excision with elevation, dermal rollers, Fractional CO2 lazers etc depending upon the scar type..
You can start applying silicone gel over the scars..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
