Here's an idea: I'm betting this is acne. If it's mild, rub benzoyl peroxide 5% on yourself twice a day. Showering twice a day may help as well. If this doesn't do the trick, and it bothers you, your physician can help you out. If one of the lesions becomes hugely painful, get see at once to rule out nasty staph.
