Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

I can see a few, variably sized raised bumps on neck. They seem like they are either lesions of molluscum contagiosum or warts on face. More likely they seem like warts. Both these are viral infections. I request you to kindly upload a few more better quality close up images in better lighting so that I am able to guide you better regarding the exact diagnosis. Treatment for both molluscum and warts would be similar i.e either electosurgical removal or carbon dioxide laser ablation.

Regards
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
