What Causes Large Pimple Like Rashes On Neck ,chest And Face?
Hello, I have been breaking out in what I guess you would call a rash around my neck, chest, back and face. On my face its mostly on my chin/jaw and by my ears. Its not acne. Its really weird. Its bigger than acne and doesn t pop and nothing comes out but clear liquid and then it bleeds and leaves a scab and scar. It hurts a lot of the time. Do you know what this could be? I started a new medication about 2 months ago and got an IUD 3 months ago. The rash started around those times.

Hello,
Painful lesions on neck, chest, back, and face are likely to be due to folliculitis. Folliculitis is inflammation of hair follicles.
I suggest you consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management. Clinical assessment is necessary to rule out other skin conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
