Have Numerous Tiny Bumps On Ankles, Itching, Wart Like, Peeling Off. What Is Wrong?

Hi, I have numerous tiny bumps that formed around my ankles and were very itchy when they presented, which was several years ago and they turned into a wart-like bumps ( being raised slightly, are flesh colored and inconspicuous) and stopped being itchy. Since then I have noticed them occuring all over various parts of my body but in a singular occurance and not a cluster like on my feet. They always start as an intensely itchy spot and then turn into these bumps. I have two on my upper thigh that I peel off occasionally but they always return. Recently I noticed that they have all turned brown in color and my instincts tell me that they might be some sort of skin fungus but I need a professional opinion now because I would like to get rid of them so that they never return. Please help me understand what to do. thank you oh. I am 44, female, white
