Are the bumps black? And seem to get larger? They could be mites, either get a mite remover from a local reptile store in your area, or jus pull them off with tweezers. Or u can try soaking them in warm water, making sure that the mites are submerged.

How big are the bumps? Can you be a little more descriptive (color, shape, size etc) Is there anyway for you to post a picture? LM
