Brief Answer:
Warts
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the additional information and picture. Though the picture is not very clear but I could make out that these lesions are actually warts(Viral infections).
They can spread/increase in number by autoinnoculation and they are prone to trauma as well during combing etc and can therefore bleed.
Treatment is fairly simple. Treatment is usually by abalative modalities:
Abalation with either:
-Radiofrequency cautery,
-CO2 Laser.
I would suggest that you visit a nearby dermatologist and get them removed as soon as possible
