Hello,
Conditions like multiple osteomas are a possibility. Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. You. can opt for an MRI as it will give a better clinical picture than X-ray. If you are asymptomatic we can just wait and in case of symptoms surgical excision may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.
