Acne scars are caused by picking and popping your pimples. After a pimple is popped it bleeds and the skin is left open leaving the area vulnerable to infection. Then, after a few days, you have a dry scab. Here are some ways to stop the acne scarring.

Stop popping! It will only make things worse and possibly cause permanent scarring. If you can't help but pop one, be certain that the area and your fingers are disinfected. After popping, gently clean the area with warm water and a clean cloth, then apply ice to the popped pimple for a minute or two. This will minimize swelling.
Stick with your regular acne routine. Continue your regimen to make sure that no new acne appears. For a good skin care routine click here
Often, the best way of dealing with acne scars is to just allow your body to do the work. Keep the scar areas clean and avoid using make-up on the area.
Use a Scar Treatment. You can try Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel. Mederma is also a good "spot" treatment. For "ice picks" or "crater-like" scars, which are actual dents in the skin, often the most effective treatment is seeing a doctor.
Moisturize and protect your skin. It is always a good idea to use an oil-free moisturizer with SPF. Try DERMAdoctor Body Guard Exquisitely Light SPF 30, 4 oz.

Stop touching your face. Your hands will conduct oil to an infected area.
Scars are more evident on pale skin. You can help prevent this with a safe self-tanner.
Neosporin is also good for minimizing healing time and causing fewer scars. There is also Neosporin Scar Solution.
Some people have also found plain yogurt useful to help fade scars. Apply it to the troublesome areas twice daily.
Aloe vera, vitamin E, Shark Liver Oil and Cocoa Butter may work for your skin as well.
You can use lemon on scars. Lemon Juice will help kill acne causing bacteria.

Never Pick at the scabs. Picking will only make things worse.
If your acne ruptures without you even touching it, you need to seek the advice of a dermatologist. Bleeding is not normal and could be a sign of infection and/or allergies.
