A member asked:
How come i have moles now, when i didn't have any when i was younger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: Not all moles are congenital meaning they occurred in early childhood. It is very common to get a variety of growths on the skin as we mature in age. Fortunately most are benign but should be evaluated by a dermatologist. If you are fair skin and have any history of skin cancer in family don't delay an evaluation.
