Brief Answer:
Folliculitis or insect bite hypersensitivity reaction, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I hope gone through your query and it could be folliculitis which is inflammation of the hair follicle or insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
Do you have any itching, pain or burning on the affected area?
I would recommend you to upload the picture of the affected area under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be related to sun damage.
I don’t think you need to worry about it.
You can apply calamine lotion on the affected area twice daily for few days and it will resolve.
