      I am a 60 yr old M. For the past yr I have developed a number of new moles, ranging in size, color, height above skin, and two in particular get itchy.
      Should I be concerned

          At our age, the patina of time expresses itself in the form of lentigo (liverspots), keratosis ("barnacles"), and other features which may appear to be moles. Best to see a dermatologist for a full body review to ensure that nothing is progressing beyond the cosmetic.
