not really itchy or painful (I mean slightly but nothing abnormal if they werent there) yes ive gotten bumps like these quite often but never this many and for this long and no history before
Brief Answer:
molluscum contagiosum is the most likely possibili
Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attached pics. Thanks for attaching the pics.
It seems that you are suffering from a condition called molluscum contagiosum.
it is a viral infection of skin leading to formation of pearly white raised eruptions with central indentation with or without erythematous base.
The best treatment for this is removal of the molluscum bodies by needle extirpation by an expert dermatologist.
I will advice you to visit your dermatologist at the earliest and discuss this with him/ her. I am sure he/ she will agree with my opinion.
Good luck.
