M a afro-american female w/ new moles that just recently popped up on my face in rapid time . just this week about 2 on my face what is causing this?

Mole: Moles are genetically programmed and one tends to develop more moles over time. If a given mole is changing, size, color, shape, itches, or bleeds , see a dermatologist for evaluation.
