Most diseases that produce bumps on the fruit, called cankers, galls, or scabs, involve brownish discolorations of the bumps. This article shows the common examples: http://amarillo.tamu.edu/files/2010/11/CitrusCankerPathologyTrainingCHRP.pdf [1]
If the bumps on your fruit aren’t discolored, you might have a simple condition caused by nutrient imbalance or environmental stress. This article has information on tangerine growing: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/tangerine/mandarin-orange-tree-care.htm [2]
Please consider making use if the resources at the County Extension Service. Take some samples to them; they will be able to tell you the cause and if anything needs to be done.
