Viral warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern,

These are warts.
Warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Infection. They need to be removed either with an Electrocautery of CO 2 Laser.
I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.
