Dark Spots Like Scabs On Back Of Neck. Is It Due To Hormonal Changes?

Hi my daughter just turned 13 and she has dark spots on the back of her neck ... we first told her to wash. but is not dirt it looks more like lines or scabs... now she has darker skin tone dots around the neck and the torax.. should I talk to someone about it. She just got her period, so I though it was due to all the hormonal changes she is going through but Im getting a little scared...
