Small dotted moles appearing along with couple red moles

Hello,
I am a 25 year old asian male and recently within a month small dotted dark moles started to appear.  The lighter moles became darker and about 3 red dotted moles, like a dot from a red pen, appeared.  Moles were appearing on my face, neck, shoulder, arms, and chest.  How serious is this?  I'm so worried right now.

Hi,

One thing which concerns me here is the rapid increase in the number of these moles.Although this does not sound urgent, I suggest that you have these moles evaluated. There should be no itchiness, redness, irregular borders or discoloration along the moles' borders.

It is best to have this initially evaluated by your physician. A thorough physical examination is necessary.

hello, thanks for the reply
I never sunbathed myself for several months now.  The only time I'm exposed to sun is when I bike to school but that's in the morning so I don't think that counts.  When I come home it's already late in the afternoon.

However, my dad has a lot of moles so I have a lot of moles too.  But just recently moles started appearing about 2 or 3 a week.
As for the enlarged nodes, I don't have them.

Hi,

Have you had frequent sun exposures?

Do you frequent the beaches for sunbathing,playing under the sun?

In your family, does anyone of your family members present with a similar condition (that is numerous moles)?

I do not want you to worry about this but I do suggest that you get an initial consult with your primary physician.It is best if you can get an internist to see this.You need a complete physical examination. Examination of the covered areas of the body including the groin area and back should examined.

Are there any enlarged nodes in the body? Any nodular cysts that are not present before?
