Hi.
Thanks for your query and history.
It looks to be most probably sebaceous cysts or can be a lymph node.
A clinical examination by the Doctor and ultrasonography will confirm what is it. `
You may need to undergo FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology to confirm there is no lymphoma or so.
If required you may need an a biopsy to confirm the FNAC findings.
And to get a treatment accordingly.
