I'd also get back in contact with the person you bought it from! Either they might know something about it such as how long its been there. We can't even guess without a picture.

Ima post a pic right now idk if u notice it tho it's underneath where his stomach is I think ..
I'll post better pics tomorrow.

Sorry, I cant really tell where the lumps are from the picture. But what you are describing sounds like either gular edema (caused by either an overdose or deficiency of vitamin A i believe), or gout (caused by a diet with too much protein). Both are reversible in the long run, but I would advise a vet visit to distinguish the exact cause. Sorry you are having problems with the little guy so soon :(
 
Here's a better pic

Yeah I hope it's what you saying it be.
I thought it would kill him soon
Here's a better pic to see wha it is.

It still isn't very clear, but looks as if something is bulging from under the skin itself right? If so, it could be a tumor, an abscess, an encapsulated parasitic worm, some sort of intestinal prolapse or hernia. This cham needs to see an experienced herp vet. An x-ray or ultrasound may tell you more.

Doesn't present like edema or gout. The "gular" is the throat area, not abdominal. Gout tends to show as swelling around a joint.
 
Your cham needs a vet.

Thats not edema, edema would normally show in the armpits or te chin area.
