I'm really upset about frequently getting zits on my face and particularly the red scars that they leave. I'm a guy and I shave daily, which seems to aggravate some scars, causing them to swell and remain for months. Any suggestions on effective, cheap methods of getting rid of the scars? I don't really want to use any chemical peels, or anything extreme. Thanks!

You should go to a dermatologist who can recommend something for your skin. You might have to use an antibacterial soap before or after. and if they're swelling, it might not be just acne. It could be cystic acne.
In the meantime, you might need to get a different type of razor. One for ingrown hairs and only shave in the direction your hair grows.
