What can I do when lots of small moles appear all over my body in a short period?

Question

I'm a 33yo white male, no skin problems, no one in the family with any skin problems. In the last 3-4 months I started to notice a bunch of small moles that appeared all over my body. The size of a dot. All same color. 14 just on left arm, others on torso, back, thighs etc. What can I do ? What could be the cause?? I'm not a drinker, smoker, never did drugs etc. I eat mostly healthy. I work indoors a lot. Could lack of vitamin D do this ?? Any help would be appreciated.

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

Hello, thank you for your question. It is difficult to assess your concerns and give you guidance without being able to see your concerns. I advise you to seek consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. They will be able to do a closer inspection of your concerns and give you an appropriate diagnosis. From there, they should be able to counsel you on appropriate treatment. Hope this helps and take care!
