John, You probably need to provide more detail as there are several possible causes--genetic, fungal, viral, and insect. The cause usually has its particular customary terminology.
Wart is appropriate for some disorders, blister. Bump is a good old English term.

It is being translated into English and I've been reading the manuscript to help them with the English translation of horticultural terms. I'm stumped on one however. Sometimes on the surface of peach fruit there is a small lumpy growth about the size of a pea. Is there a term for that lump in English? If so, do tell. Thanks, John Bunker Fedco P.O.
