I'm very concerned about lots of small moles on my back. what should i do?

See your doctor: A lot of moles, especially if they are new or changing , may be a sign of a condition called "dysplastic nevus syndrome". There is an increased risk of melanoma in this syndrome, and its best to have these moles evaluated by a dermatologist.
