What Do White Bumps On The Wrist Indicate?

I have stage 4 liver disease, but labs are stable & completed Sovaldi/ribaviron. Last lab 12/9/16. Sooo, I have had these white bumbs on my outside wrist. They first appeared after a procedure which bruised my hand etc from the IV. Since 2014 the little bumps ( they appear to follow skin pores, white, hard. No pain or itch) have never gone away. Now I see they are getting bigger & I felt more bumbs going up towards another scar from tape. If I go to my Dr. she will probably refer me and that could take months. Normally, I m told it s just part of the disease process. Thank you.
