Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. This could be a few different things, depending on where they occur and how they appear. If they are fuzzy or smooth. Indentation and coloration around the bumps, and other factors. I'm going to start with the most common. Scale insects. These bugs can have many shapes, sizes, and colors, but white can be common. That are very light tan. Once you can rule that out, you can move on to the next possibility. If you have no pictures, you might compare them to other pictures online. Checking Under the leaves is a good idea, too. That's where most of the problem will be.
