Raised Red Rashes On Neck And Chest, With Small White Head, Have A Chesty Cough. Suggestion?

I have a red, raised rash on my neck and chest , some have small white heads on them, also all over my back, shoulders and a patch on one cheek. The neck rash only appeared this morning. I also have a chesty cough , I don t know if that is just a coincidence. The rash on one cheek has been flaring up quite alot lately and also gets small pustules on them.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You are probably suffering from pustular acne.

It is a moderate variety of acne and often involves the back and neck.

The other possibility is recurrent folliculitis.
You may require treatment with oral antibiotics,
as pus means infection.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact treatment.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
