Hi, thanks for posting
From the infomation provided by you , you may be having Multiple neurofibromas
they are genetically inherted, and are usually asymtomatic, and do no harm ,that is why they are left as such
they can cause anxiety and cosmetic concern , they can continue to increase in number.
there is no medicine to prevent its increase,
They can be removed surgically
you may refer a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis by an excision biopsy
Hope this answers your query
