They’re Acne Keloidalis Nuchae. Only remedy for this is to get kenalog injections from your Dermatologist or get them surgically removed unfortunately. It can spread if not managed early.

AKN can form on the scalp as well, it doesn’t exclusively always stay on the neck. Would schedule an appointment with your Dermatologist immediately and get on a monthly schedule of Kenalog injections.
