How To Avoid Moles And Skin Tags On Body Due To Heredity?

My older family members start to develop numerous moles and skin tags all over their bodies (especially face and neck area). I was wondering if this could be hormonal and if I can avoid it? We are racially mixed (European, African and Native American) with very light skin and the moles are usually black or dark brown and different sizes.

Hi thanks for asking question.
The moles can be congenital or acquired.So cause has to be search for and genetic case cannot prevented.
Here is some advise rather i want to give you.
Be alert if moles are fastly increasing along with irregular border,bleed on touch,different colour,assymetrical etc. In such cases consultation to doctor is necessary.
Cryotherapy can be applicable to such moles and tags.
Use sunscreen lotion that has SPF minimum between 15-20.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
