Brief Answer:
They may be Neurofibromas.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like Neurofibromas. They arise from nerve tissue.
There is no medical treatment for this.
You have to excise the swellings which are big.
Another common possibility is Multiple Lipomas.They too do not have medical treatment.
Please post a pic if possible.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions , I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
