Hello,
These white bumps can be due to folliculitis, molluscum contagious or viral infections like chicken pox. Molluscum contagiosum presents as multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug and are contagious in nature. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
