Multiple lumps under skin since childhood are more likely to be lipoma(fat swellings) , they are usually freely mobile, and soft to touch and skin over the swelling is pinchable. In the neck it could be lymph nodes as well.
Next Steps
It is advised to get a physical examination from a general surgeon to confirm the diagnosis.
