Possibilities

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Without being able to see what these look like (can you upload photos - use the button that says "upload reports"), I can only tell you what these are likely to be.

Small nodules all over the body can happen from neurofibromatosis. They can also be small lipomas (benign fatty tumors) or xanthomas (deposits of fat in the skin).

Have you seen a dermatologist for evaluation of this?
