Here they are
Brief Answer:
Either folliculitis or acneform eruption
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,
I have reviewed the attached photographs and there are 2 possibilities: either folliculitis or acneform eruption.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply Benzoyl peroxide 5 percent gel or Mupirocin cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
This should help in resolving the rash.
Besides this, stay in cool area, avoid wearing tight synthetic clothes, wear loose cotton clothes and don't sit for long hours.
It is not looking like psoriasis or syphillis or lymphoma.
So don't worry.
But if doesn't show much improvement consult a doctor and get it examined clinically.
