Probably not: It's not uncommon to develop moles as we age. The important thing is to watch for "red flags" in the moles: in med school we call these the abcds. Assymetry, borders that are not well defined or irregular, color that is not uniform, diameter > 5mm. It doesn't hurt to take a close up picture of the mole alongside a tapemeasure so you can observe for changes in size or shape. And wear sunscreen!
