Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pimples on the shoulders which could be due to abundance of sebaceous glands in that area. I would suggest you to try to reduce your stress . Wash area with body wash containing salicylic acid. Exfoliate your skin twice a week. Apply raw honey at night and wash it in the morning. Apply azelaic acid cream after washing shoulder area twice a day. You should consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid taking oily, fried and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
