New moles popping up around body, some are itchy with a small black bump within the normal brown area. wouldnt many melanomas at once be unlikely?

Unlikely but...: It only takes one melanoma to change your life. Having more than 100 moles raises the risk of melanoma. If you do not have a dermatologist, get one and get checked. Yearly checkups can give you peace of mind, and may even save your life.

Have one biopsied.: Moles can be dangerous especially if their is a family or personal history of skin cancers like melanoma, history of sunburns over the years, moles with different colors within it, have an irregular border, or are itchy and/or have bled. Moles larger than 6mm also need to be evaluated. Please see your doctor and if any of the lesions need a biopsy then it can done. Better to replace a mole with a scar.
