Moles: They will keep appearing throughout your life, it doesn't stop, you should have an annual check up with a dermatologist to keep an eye on them.

No set age: But most of them appear in early life, say up to teens or 20s. If this is new, and particularly if it is enlarging or is dark in color or appears ragged around the edges you should have it checked for possible melanoma. And please, always use sunscreen!
