more skin cancers on left arms of white people in our country than right arms. Driving with our left arm exposed to sun can be dangerous. i wear protection all over my body and have my children do the same.

a uv tint for the car windows will prevent this, at least while inside the car.
I'm 17 Years old and I used to have only one mole on my chin but recently two new small ones popped up and they are pretty close. My mom says it's because of popping my pimples bit I don't understand how moles come up from popping pimples.. should I be concerned ?
I have some newer ones and I'm 78. A lot of my freckles faded and even went away with years of taking grape seed extract. My hands were loaded with freckles and probably liver spots and they hardly there now. You can do a search on that too.

I have gotten new moles over the years. It is definitely genetic. My grandmother had a lot moles by the time she was in her eighties. None of them were cancerous. I go to a dermatologist yearly for a mole check and I am fine.
I highly recommend getting a full body check by a dermatologist. It is preventative care so if you have insurance it should just cost you a copay or nothing.
My mother had MANY moles when she died at 91 and never went to derm. They were not cancerous...dad didn't have any that I can recall. It's ethnic oriented I believe. He was Italian.
On the sunscreens, and I've Never used them, if I were to start and that's not going to happen at 79, I would buy the most pure organic types vs those loaded with harsh chemicals. I've done many yrs of sun and hardly any moles/spots etc...I'm half Italian.

I'm currently 26, and since hitting my twenties, I've definitely noticed new moles popping up all around my body. Arms, face, stomach, back, chest, legs, pretty much anywhere! I had moles as a child, but I definitely have nearly 4-5 times as many now in my mid twenties. It seems like every year I notice about 5-10 new moles.
I went for my first mole check earlier this year, and the doctor said everything looked fine. I forgot to actually ask if it was common to grow so many new moles. I know many people will develop lots of freckles as they get older, but am not sure about moles. Does anyone know if what I'm experiencing is common or maybe something I should be concerned about?
Yes - moles will continue to pop up well into your 40s and there after - sorry I am like you and have gotten more and more over the years (I am 49). Just be sure to watch them for any discolor or if they look weird or different - go to the dermatologist. But most importantly- make sure you wear your sunscreen when you are out in the sun - you don't want cancer.
