I have seriously over 100 moles on my body (not all of them are huge). I used to just have a few on my back, but now I have so many that I feel so gross and I don't want to wear anything that shows my back or shoulders, like a dress or a swimsuit.
When I was in highschool, my parents paid for me to get about 8 removed by a plastic surgeon (so I wouldn't have scars), but I think that cost alot and now that I'm out of college I'm on my own and can't afford that.
Two of my friends are getting married in the next year, and I'm dreading the weddings already because I'll have to wear a dress that will show my upper back and shoulders and people will see how ugly my skin is.
I'm starting to feel like I've been cheated out of a good life because of how ugly I feel. At least fat people can diet, but to remove all the moles on my skin would cost thousands of dollars! Please help me, I don't know what I can do to feel better. Thanks for reading!!!

Short of having them removed the best thing to do is to learn to be happy with who you are. It isn't about the outside of you but what is on the inside and anyone worth their weight in salt will know that and treat you right.

I am assuming that your doctor regularly checks these moles to make sure that they are not changing (skin cancer). Have you ever tried a very good concealing foundation? I would suggest going to a good department store with a good Friend and experiment a bit with the sample. you may be surprised with the result. Before investing the money, as it will be pricey for good quality make up, have it applied to a few spots on your back (a friend can help you) then go shopping for a few hours and then check to see how it holds up during regular activities. If it works, could be a simple and much less solution to your problem.
