Annoyin scars/dry skin. Help?

I have them on the edges of my nose and..(gasp) I ahve a party on Friday so if I can't get rid of 'em a good coverage would be fab! Anywayyy, I used to pick my spots on the edge of my nose but I completely stopped, so I have minor scars which I hope will eventually heal like my others, and now I THINK I have dry skin with it; I see bits of skin flakes on the scars. Please confirm this and, apart from time, tell me a good helper to ease my skin. I also have spots on my forehead, tips for getting rid of 'em (not necesdsarily by Friday but tips on getting rid of them. thanks a bunch).
