What could this condition on my back and shoulders be?
​
I’ve been getting these small red bumps all over my upper back and shoulders. Some of them look like they have a small white head, and they seem to be centered around the hair follicles.
I’m not sure if this is acne, folliculitis, fungal folliculitis, or something else.
A few details:
- Mostly on my upper back and shoulders
- There are quite a lot of them
- Some are red/inflamed
- I’m not sure whether sweating or friction is contributing
I’ve attached photos. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what this might be? I’m planning to see a dermatologist, but I’d appreciate some ideas about what it could be.
Thanks!
