About a month ago, my wife noticed a few black dots, around 1 mm in size, appear on her face and neck over a weeks time. They dont look like pimples or moles, just small, black spots. This is the first time shes had something like this, and they havent changed in size or color since then. What could be causing these spots? And what should she do to get rid of them?

These black dots could be due to a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in people with skin of color. To get rid of them, your wife can consider using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel 0.1% once daily at night. Additionally, she can also try cryotherapy treatment with liquid nitrogen by a dermatologist to remove the black dots. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment
