Hi
Welcome to hcm
As per your discription those are unerrupted hair follicles on the skin which generally more prominant on elbow and knee. But at least once show it to a dermatologist/skin specialist actually. For these small bumps only proper scrubing of that skin with scrub and mechanically scrubing it is adequate in most of the cases.
Regards.
