Cause of cysts forming on dog's body

Could someone please weigh in with any experience or understanding of this situation? In speaking with a very close relative, he told me 3 years ago his dog developed a cyst and it was removed. Then a couple more developed after that a year or two later and were removed. Now the dog has about 6 cysts and more developing on the back and chest. They all tested benign. The dog's blood is ok. The dog drinks more water not right after getting up but about 3 hours later. What could be the cause of this. I asked if the dog rolls in grass and he said no but he is worried sick with no information as to what diagnostics or what rabbit hole to go down. Any idea what the cause could be or what to test for? The dog's BEAM seems ok and is 10 years old, just slowing down some. He is eating some hydrolyzed prescription pet food from the vet that he has been on for a while. Any insight on whether you have heard of anything like this, cysts gone wild.... They are not oozing or anything else. Thanks

What could be the cause of this.
The increasing number of cysts over time are likely related to both age and prior removal.
