Moles

I recommend that you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for an evaluation of the lesions.

Evaluation First

Mole should be evaluated by a dermatologist. If the dermatologist determines that it is indeed a mole, then the question comes up what to do about it.

True moles (nevi) cannot be removed except by surgery

Some "moles: are actually warty growths called seborrheic keratoses. Dermatologist treat these by freezing or burning them off. True moles (nevi) cannot be removed except by surgery. Beware: surgery on the chest leaves some of the worst scars of any area on the body, so sometimes it is better to keep the mole, unless your dermatologist is worried about malignancy.
