Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

White bumps can be due to pores that become clogged with skins natural oils/sebum. They are harmless. Take regular showers and maintain your hygiene. It should go away. You should change your clothes on a regular basis. If you are not sexually active, you need not worry. Never go for unprotected sex. Masturbation is a normal activity but do not get addicted to it. If you are sexually active and have gone for unprotected sex, then your bumps continue to spread, you need to visit ER and get STD treatment done.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
