General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Multiple subcutaneous swelling most common are multiple Lipomas. Lipoma are present in around 10% individuals. They are soft , mobile, non tender. They need not require any treatment unless they are large or causing any cosmetid problem.
Another possibility is neurofibroma.
Both can be removed by local excision under local anaesthesia.
You should consult surgeon.
