From your description, you seem to be describing conspicuous sebaceous glands (sebaceous cysts).  Sebaceous cysts are not health threatening in any way, and for most men they are a part of normal anatomy.  The bumps are caused by blockage of the follicles causing sebum to build up and create the whitish colored bumps.  ITs normal.  I wouldnt worry about it.  If you still feel you need reassurance, see your doctor.  He will tell you the same thing.

i have the same thing. Is there anyway i can get them to go away. A cram perhaps or will i have to through surgery?

Cream

Creams would probably make them worse, as they are caused by blockage of the hair follicle.  For most people, they arent a big deal.  Im sure that if one wanted them treated, a derm could offer a treatment to get rid of them.
