Hey
Im a 22 old african male, and over the last few years I have started to develop little ingrown like pimples on the back of my neck, I thought it was because I used to shave my head quit often, but I have not done that in a while and they are still there and developing..any suggestions....

 Hello,
This sounds like folliculitis. It is an infection of the hair follicles forming small, white-headed Bumps in hair follicles (roots).
Lesions may be Itching. Superficial folliculitis resolves spontaneously in a few days.
Other causes could be:
Dermatistis:
Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies, and irritants.
-Allergic dematitis
-Irritant Dermatitis
-Seborrheic Dermatitis
Dermatological consultation is essential.
Best regards.
