What Causes Pimples Around The Neck?

default
Posted on Wed, 21 Oct 2015
Question: My wife have started developing very tiny moles or skin raises around neck. I heard about them developing due to stress. Is it because of stress or thin gold chain she is wearing? or any hormonal changes? Please suggest some in home treatment or something to apply so that they can be reduced. As we are not in a plan to get radio or laser treatment as of now.
