Does Discoloration Of Mole Indicate Melanoma?

I m a 23 y/o male. Since I m born, i have a mole probably around 1.5cm in diameter located at the left side of my chest. Several months ago, i moved into an airconditioned room (im from a humid country). The mole has gotten dry and is flaking off. End result is the part that flaked off is now lighter in tone. I also noticed that i have a lot of tiny moles. My face alone has around 5-7 moles. Should i suspect a melanoma ? I have no family history of cancer or melanoma.
