These : These could be sebaceous hyperplasia or possibly milium. There are some other possibilities as well. I would recommend you see a dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. If they are milium, they can possibly be extracted fairly easily.

Yes, Neck and Back: Acne can occur anywhere there are sebaceous glands (oil glands) in the skin. Web md is a great resource to learn more about acne. Skin hygiene with soap and water followed by benzol peroxide or 2% salicylic acid products are over the counter options. An evaluation by a dermatologist can help develop a long term plan. Resistant acne can also be treated with antibiotics and some laser therapy.
