It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. These may be sebaceous/pilar cysts which are benign but can get infected. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Visit this site for info: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23092-pilar-trichilemmal-cyst#symptoms-and-causes Wish you good health!
