Brief Answer:
Possibly fibrous papule

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

from your description, it sounds a lot like fibrous papule, which are small, harmless raised growths, however I would need to see a picture of these bumps as well as a bit more information on when they first appeared and whether they are itchy or painful.

I will be awaiting for your reply.
