Brief Answer:
Looks like molluscum contagiosum

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you seem to have developed molluscum contagiosum which is a sexually transmitted viral disease.
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get them removed.

Is there any sort of treatment to prevent more appearing? As well as treatment to have them subside without surgery?

No treatment to prevent more from appearing, apply tretinoin cream

Detailed Answer:
There is no treatment to prevent more from appearing.
You can try applying tretinoin 0.05 percent cream on them at night for 2-3 weeks.
It might help in reducing them.
