Lines on neck: These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Requires exam: Proper treatment for any skin issue requires knowing the cause. Your description suggests a common finding with insulin resistance/ type 2 diabetes. It can certainly be something else but an evaluation that includes reviewing his past history/exam & testing would be prudent.
