Hi. Greetings. What you have may be acne or may even be pityrosporum folliculitis or kps. You ll need to see a dermatologist for correct diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription of medicines for the identified condition. You can also use a benzoyl peroxide based creamy body wash on alternate days that will help in reduction of the skin lesions you have. Hope this helps. Warms regards. Dr Govind S Mittal
