You should probably go to the doctor to have this looked at. This can be a sign of some types of cancer.

If moles do't change size, are not painful, do not cause discomfort to surrounding vital organs like blood vessels, nerves, do't change color - no problem.

Are they moles or skin tags. In either case the best thing to do is to keep a close eye on them. If you get more, or they change colors I would see a physician.

I would be concerned about the moles if they should change color, or have hair growing out of them. Any change should warrant a visit to the doctor. Not all moles are a concern but, a doctor would be able to make a better judgement for you. Better safe than sorry.

According to studies I have seen the avergage person has a 50-60 moles on their body. In that study I learned that as long as the mole is circular and is not lumpy they are generally harmless. But if you are concerned seeing a doctor would be the best way to ease your mind.

Yes, you should always be concerned about new moles showing up, especially if you see several very quickly. There is a possibility that these moles could be skin cancer, in which case you would need to start treatment immediately. If you are American, talk to your insurance company first. If not, you can just go get health care.
