Acne: Acne can affect not only your face but in severe cases it can spread to upper chest and back. Skin cleansers that has benzoyl peroxide help. Tea tree oil or other essential oils that has antibacterial effect could help.

See a dermatologist: Without being able to see these and diagnose them, it is impossible to suggest treatment. A good dermatologist should know very quickly what these are.
