Hi! I’ve always had a few moles on my body but recently, new ones have been popping up pretty fast. I’m fair and they’re pinkish. Not cancerous. I got them checked out. Is it normal to get new moles? I’m 31. I was wondering if I can get them removed by laser or any other way while I’m on my third month of accutane 60mg. I heard stories about scarring.
