Hello,
The acne that are spreading can be due to infectious cause. It can be viral/bacterial/ fungal or allergic. I suggest you visit a
dermatologist regarding this. A careful observation and sample testing should be done to know what is the underlying cause. Along with that couple of blood tests need to be performed like CBC. A medical history is also needed. Depending on that you will be advised proper medical treatment.
Regarding
stiff neck and back pain, it’s might or might not be related to your current condition. Do you have any family history of similar symptoms? Does there
stiffness stay whole day or only in the morning? A
rheumatologist can help better, as need to check for swelling in the joints. It can be autoimmune etiology or infection related. Similarly blood tests are needed to figure out if this is due to some autoimmune condition. Depending on that for relief treatment will be started.
Till then for temporary pain relief, I advice
paracetamol. And make sure, you consult both the doctors for your condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
