Brief Answer:
molluscum contagiosum

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is looking like molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection.
These bumps need to be removed using a needle.
Please meet a dermatologist and get it done.
Once removed they will disappear.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
