You are suffering from what Dermatologist call tropical acne. In this condition, pimples erupt on the back and shoulder area which then subside after few days with pigmentation. The treatment is not very complicated. It can be treated with tablets, creams, and soap. Maintenance treatment may be required to cover for recurrence. Please don't apply oil on your head. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination and detailed prescription. Pcos if not treated, acne will never stop. So it is high time treatment for pcod should be done and it is not at all expensive.
