Brief Answer:
Kindly upload an image for review!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is difficult to tell what the cause of the lesion is and propose helpful measures to address it without seeing the area. To provide a personalized and helpful response to you, I need to at least review an image of this area you are concerned about. For this, I suggest that you upload an image for review. The instructions below will guide you do so.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.

I hopefully enclosed a picture. It had a very small whikehead this morning and I popped it when I got home. Not much came out. The red area grew after that. I am only so concerned bc it is on my neck.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Probably a pimple. Avoid picking on it further!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for these images.

I have reviewed them and this is rather suggestive of a pimple. Avoid picking on it constantly as this makes worse and delays healing. No drugs/antibiotics are required at this time.

I wish you well and do keep me updated on how it goes. A follow up image in 2-3days would be helpful.
