Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. The chances are that these are completely benign lumps - that is to say that they are nothing serious. There are lots of different benign lumps in the skin. Examples would include lipomas, sebaceous cysts, fibromas etc. Most of the time we advise to leave them alone. If they start to cause symptoms (eg pain, numbness, increasing in size etc) then we advise surgical removal.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Adrian Rawlinson MD
