Hi. thanks for writing to HCM.
Seems you have an acne breakout. I would advice that you see a dermatologist.
Your doctor might ask you to take an oral antibiotic like doxycycline or Azithromycin.
Your doctor might ask you to apply topical antibacterial gel like clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel over the spots once or twice daily.
Use a mild cleanser twice daily.
take care
