How come there are many small flesh-colored growths on the neck?

Having many small flesh-like growths on the neck may be caused by filiform warts or folliculitis. 1. **Filiform warts**: These are mainly caused by HPV infection and commonly occur on the face and neck. They appear as thin, soft, thread-like projections, resembling miniature mushrooms. They may manifest as small flesh-like growths on the neck and are usually asymptomatic, though mild pulling pain may occur when rubbing with a towel. In such cases, laser surgery or electrocautery at a hospital may be treatment options. It is recommended to seek treatment at a正规 hospital. 2. **Folliculitis**: This condition is primarily caused by bacterial infection of the skin in the neck area, resulting in inflammatory papules that resemble small flesh-like growths. The affected area may be accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain. As the condition progresses, a yellowish-white pustular plug may appear in the center. Under a doctor's guidance, oral antibiotics or topical application of erythromycin ointment may be used for treatment. Scratching or squeezing the follicles should be avoided to prevent worsening of the condition and to protect one's health. If you experience the appearance of many small flesh-like growths on the neck, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation to identify the cause and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
