What exactly is this? NSFW
35F. This is near my arm/underarm/chest area. Both sides have this. Are these sweat ducts or what?

Suffering from this for 7 months and IM TIRED of it.
Does anyone know what this could be? Is it eczema that randomly developed later in life? I live a healthy lifestyle, have tried eliminating things in my diet and switching soap products, tried lotions and hydrocortison; nothing is really working.
It is incredibly itchy, in almost a painful way, is worse at night, and hasn’t gone away for any period of time at all.

Need help with terrible acne
Need help with skin- a 9 month old story
I have been dealing with this painful, itchy face problem for months now. Initially, it was just acne and came and went. It was there for around a year but the base skin was still good so I let it heal naturally. Later I shifted from Dombivli to Virar and it’s like my skin has gotten angry on me for it. Initially it didn’t itch or pain but now I find myself scratching the acne in my sleep. I have a big professional thing coming up in November end and I don’t want to go on stage with this kind of acne.
I have tried salicylic acid, retinol, azeliac acid, moisturer, sunscreen, aloe Vera gel, serums, almost everything that I thought could help at different stages in point. I saw a couple dermats in Dombivli around 10-11 months ago but that didn’t help either.
Posting here is my last hope. I’m 32 btw.

Skin atop big toes different
Not sure what is causing this but the skin on top of my big toes is different? It’s almost looks like pressure lines but I don’t wear anything with that restriction pattern… also the top section of the left toes discoloration is dry?
Looking for opinion: red bumps

What started off as small red area got a little bigger, I don't know what it is. It doesn't hurt or itch. Nothing hurts at the touch, no weird sensations. I first noticed it maybe 3 weeks ago. It hasn't spread to my other fingers or anything.
I'm afraid it might be hiv or aids but it's not exactly like what it looks like on those Google images. Also, I go the gym, so maybe it's something contracted there? Furthermore, I vaguely remember bumping my finger into a door handle while running and brushed it off, could be a bruise but idk why it would get larger / look this way.

Recurring skin bumps with white, firm material inside — any ideas?
Duration: I have been dealing with this skin condition for about a year.
Location: The lesions are mainly on my arms, chest/breast area, abdomen, and underarms. More recently, I have also noticed lesions in my genital area.
Timeline: They usually start as small bumps and sometimes become larger and firmer. Some develop openings and release a white or yellow, thick, paste-like substance. Sometimes it looks like a tiny white pearl or a grain of rice. After the material comes out, the lesions can refill and become larger again.
Symptoms: Most of the lesions are not itchy, and many are not painful. Some feel firm underneath, and they can become firm again after the contents are released.
Treatments tried: I have tried intralesional corticosteroid injections, CO2 laser, 20% azelaic acid, and salicylic acid. I have also taken several courses of antibiotics. Corticosteroid injections initially helped some lesions significantly, but a few eventually returned.
Relevant medical background: My dermatologist has considered hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), possibly stage 2, but I do not have a confirmed diagnosis. I also had a punch biopsy of a lesion on my arm. The pathology report mentioned excoriation, although I had not scratched the lesion.
My questions: Has anyone experienced something similar? Could these lesions be related to keratin plugs, skin cysts, or hidradenitis suppurativa? I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any thoughts you might have about what this could be.

Clusters of red spots
I’ve had these clusters of red spots around my nose/chin for a while and they are very persistent.
I appreciate it may be hard to tell from the photos but they are red raised bumps. Not pustular. Nothing comes out of them.
I’ve started isotretinoin I think just prior to when they first came about so originally thought might be just secondary to dryness. But am starting to wonder if it may be fungal?
Thanks
