I need help with hyperpigmentation (Football Season)

It’s very hard. No matter what I do it will leave marks, If I leave it alone it will leave marks, If I lance it will leave marks, If I slug with Aquaphor or use pimple patches. I never had this problem before but I am a teen and currently, it is football season so I am breaking out badly, But for some reason, every pimple is leaving marks.

The place that is the worst is between my eyes and ears around the lower temple area, I get huge multi-headed pimples that leave these big red marks, I use sunscreen every day in the morning and before practice and I disinfect the helmet before and after every practice.

I got prescribed Minocycline and Cabtreo a month ago but chose not to take it since I was scared I guess I never took oral antibiotics for acne and it was a new product but now I have these marks. I will just bite the bullet and start this treatment, This is ruining my mental health and I am seriously debating on quitting football for this reason.
