default
Posted on Tue, 3 Jun 2014
Question: I know its normal to develop moles over time but I am seeing these small ones popping up all over my body. I have some large ones that are getting bigger and look as though they are trying to detach. I spent many years in the sun as a child without proper protection. My husband noticed the changes i the one on my side and neck and is worried.
