    Dear claire,

    All 3 conditions you've mentioned are possible, but I think these bumps could be molluscum contagiosum (Google), a viral STD.

    Examine the lumps carefully with a magnifying glass or the macro (close-up) facility on your smartphone and see if they have a characteristic dimple (umbilication)? Here's an image from Dermnet NZ to show you what I mean (yellow arrows).

    Let us know how you get on.

    Adhari.
