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

Until you get that tissue biopsy done, we just can't tell what it is. We need to examine that bumps and then after excision biopsy, the etiology of that can be found out.

Most often, the benign bumps appear anywhere in the body especially if it is surgical keloid or something else. But till today, etiology for it is not yet found out.

It can be either removed for cosmetic purposes or left out depending on the biopsy report.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
