What is the difference between acne and acne scars?

I currently have large zits on my face that just won’t go away! I’ve had them for about a month and a half now and I have never gotten so much acne and acne that has lasted for so long in my entire life! So I was beginning to wonder if they are scars. If anyone could please help me out, I’d really appreciate it.
