Too little detail to give opinion. However, if your mate loves the sun, lives in Australia (or any other nation which has a killer sun), and stay in it for a long time without any protection, then get him to go to his GP now, as it may be skin cancer.

LOL I had the same problem! \n\nHere's the deal, it'll go away on it's own with good jewelry and cleaning. The tea tree oil may or may not help.

Seriously, I believe I would take him to the doctor.  When I worked at dermatologist there was a lady that came in with big clear fluid filled blisters and they were some kind of bacterial infection and she had to take oral antibiotics.  If nothing else a doctor could probably give you a note to let him in school with socks only until it heels.  I really hope that he feels better.  Good Luck.

How big are these spots?  It sounds like you are describing tinea versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin.  It is most commonly located on the chest, back, shoulders, and rarely goes below the waist or above the neck.  It tends to be worse in the summer, itches when you sweat or take a hot shower, and they will not tan (which is why they are more noticeable in the summer).  The treatment is with Selenium Sulfide Lotion, which will eliminate it temporarily, although it will likely recur again at some time in the future, because this fungus is ubiquitous and grows on you because of a particular lipid that is produced by your skin.  It is not contagious, and it is not dangerous.... \n\nbut first you would need an accurate diagnosis.  A rash can not be diagnosed online.  You should check with your doctor, and they can prescribe you the appropriate medication.

Try a cream such as Acid mantle, Vaseline or Complex 15 after bathing, and re-apply the cream again several times daily.\n\nIf this does not help, change to a medicated cream containing urea (Curel, Carmol-20) or alpha-hydroxy acids (Aqua Glycolic, Lacticare) applied twice daily - it may be too irritating to use more often. More aggressive home treatment can be done if ones skin can tolerate it. The plugged pores can be removed by taking long, hot soaking tub baths and then rubbing the areas with a coarse washcloth, stiff brush, or 'Buf-Puf'.\n\nPrescription medicines that may help include antibiotics (Erythromycin, Bactrim) if the spots are very red and Tazorac Cream. Tazorac, a relative of vitamin A, may cause irritation in some people.

Take her to your Doctor, as she is a little to young for teenage stuff.  Or it may be where she is active and sweats a bit causing spots.  simple soap and water, her skin is too young for anything unless prescribed.

This sounds like Tinea Versicolor. It is a fungal infection, typically on the torso, with a reputation for recurrence. Usually there are lightened or darkened spots on the skin where the fungus is - this depends on your skin tone. There are oral treatments, which are usually easier, but do have potentially significant side effects. It wouldn't hurt to try selinium sulfide shampoo (Selsun Blue) daily for 2 weeks - leave on the skin for ~10 min before washing off. This is another effective, yet more difficult treatment, that does not require a visit to the physician. Regular use of the shampoo may help to prevent recurrence. I would of course recommend that you seek Dermatology advice from a physician if it continues to bother you.

A little aquarium salt, a little stress coat, and try to identify exactly what kind of spot it is, there are some guides on the net just search for them.\n\nThen there are a whole host of medicines you can get to treat your fish.

I have the same thing you have by the sounds of it.  My doctor told me its called tinea versicolor which is a type of skin fungus.  I'm about at my whits end with this, I've tried alot of solutions and so far nothing has helped but its probably because its too soon.  My doctor gave me an oral form of nizoral to take for a month which I've just completed.  In the mean time I've been applying selsun blue to the affected areas daily and leaving it on for about 10 minutes.  Too me it just seems its getting worse day after day, the small spots turn bigger and join together to make bigger spots.  I'm frusterated but from all of the research I've done online it sounds like the fungus is easy to kill its just the discoloration of the skin that takes months to return to normal.  Hope that helps you at all, your not the only one!

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

yes, and it sounds like sun poison..Have had it many times..It comes in different versions. Probably best just to keep him in for a few days and try some aloe vera on the bumps.

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!

It could be a heat rash, or chicken skin (not sure of the actual medical term but you can find it like this online) you might want to take him to a dermotologist.

Stop worrying. Most of these things disappear with time. Spots don't last forever. It doesn't help you in the short term, but there are no miracle products that will make them all disappear instantly. Beware of steroidal creams.

You need to speak to your dermatologist about it.  There are treatments, it's just a matter or trying them and finding one to help.
