Only a doctor can tell you that.  But if it is acne, Zinc should clear it up.  A maculopapular rash can be caused by taking drugs or by syphilis.  If that is what you think it is, only a doctor can diagnose it and treat it.  If you think that is what you have, please see a doctor before it gets any worse.  So sorry you are suffering - I hope it is only acne. :(

Sorry you have acne on your back.  A Zinc deficiency can cause acne.  Try taking a Zinc supplement.
