Try washing them like you would pimples on your face. Many stores and brands carry body scrub lines of products. Try un-cented, no-oil, little lotion ones. These are less likely to cause any pore clogging or rashes or irritations. Scrub off the dead skin that could get trapped in pores. Wear lighter clothing that won't keep sweat against your body, allowing bacteria to grow and infiltrate pores. Applying a topical over-the-counter acne medication can help, too.
It could be something simple, such as an ingrown hair. There are also some lymph nodes in some of those areas, which may be swollen. There are many other possibilites, but you would need to check with your MD, if this does not go away in a reasonable amount of time, causes you pain or becomes inflammed, or if you are running a fever.
Lyme disease can cause acne by several different methods. Late stage Lyme can affect the adrenal glands causing too much or too little cortisol in your system and seems to localize around the facial area and upper back. Also, during treatment while taking antibiotics or anything that kill the bacteria your body can detox through the skin creating pimples mostly on the upper body as well as some on the lower body.
