Hello
You need not to worry
This could be lipomas which can be removed surgically very easily in case when it produces pressure effect on surrounding area.
This can increase to any number so don't be tensed about this condition
You can ask for histopathological examination after removing one, to rule out any cancerous lesion.
Hope this answers your question, do let me know if you have nay more queries.
Best wishes
