No a acne but plugged hair follicles forming black comedones, itching is common especially with heating environment as sweat cant be drained.
salicylic acid washes are karotolytics , good idea, just ask pt to take bath everyday. improve hygiene and give antihistamines.

From the provided images, it appears to be Keratosis Pilaris which is often associated with xerosis and atopic eczema. The skin of the patient appears very dry, so advise moisturization along with topical retinoids. You may advise ammonium lactate lotion in 12% or salicylic acid lotion in 6% concentration.

I do agree with diagnosis of keratosis pilaris, this is a commoner site after shoulder and arms, will definitely get relief by topical moisturizer and topical retinoids
