A member asked:

I have a lot of black dots on my left part of the chest... these appears from 13 year and now i'm 20years old... any suggestions?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Very hard to say without seeing these dots, but if present for 7 years already & nothing obviously bad has occurred it could likely be a type of benign pigmented nevus/mole (not a skin cancer) I’d wonder if family history of something similar? & what Drs who have seen you for wellness exams have thought about it If you haven’t had a wellness exam lately I recommend that & Dr may refer to Derm

It’s likely a benign ( not cancer) nevus ( birthmark). But it’s important to see your Dermatologist because only looking at the spots a Specialist will be able to tell you the risk of becoming cancer and the care you need to have with it. Also, the Dr. could find other associated lesions that you have not seen that explain or prevent health problems. In the meantime, always cover it from the sun.
