Little bumps or big bumps. Anything like the size of a pencil eraser?
Does it look anything like this:

Histiocytoma Histiocytoma: Rapidly growing dome-shaped (button like) growth found anywhere on the body, usually in young adults. These grow really fast but are not malignant. It is wise to get the first one removed and checked just to be sure. But most of them will collapse back into themselves after a few weeks. Alot of it depends on where they are located. If they dig at it and keep it opened and infected, sometimes better to have it taken off. This can be costly though.
The one you see in the photo was about a week and a halfs growth. They grow really FAST! She had it removed the next day. No more since then
