Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple lumps, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cysts or epidermal inclusion cysts! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to see that these are not lymph nodes!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
