Dr. Bernadette Carr answers your questions on moles and acne

I am going on a sun holiday this month but I’m fair-skinned and prone to burning. I have some moles on my back and arms. How should I check my moles?

Pigmented skin lesions and freckles can be normal in adults and children.

It is common to acquire more freckles or pigmented moles up to the age of 40, after which it is rare to develop a new common mole.
