Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have small red pimple like rashes on face and chest which is due to allergic reaction, infection of hair follicles, hormonal changes, skin infection and over exposure to sunlight. I would suggest you to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and apply vitamin E oil before going to bed . If condition doesn't get well or get worse then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin along with isoteritenoin and corticosteroid cream . You should get hair follicle test as well and start treatment after that. Apply cream azealic acid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
