What Causes Pink Colored Spots On Neck, Back And Shoulder?

My friend is a 19 year old man and for a while these pinkish circular spots maybe a pinky nail in circumference appear and disappear on his neck, back and shoulder areas. There are multiple spots, they don t appear flakey or scaly. And he said they do not itch him. Any suggestions on what it might be?

hi.

based from your description, it could be a skin infection (probably a fungal type). it is best if you consult with a dermatologist since the problem is recurring.

hope this helps.

good day!!
