nothing to worry too much about but, go see a dermatologist. Had a lot of freckles when I was 10 and recently many small moles as well. Dermie said it could be due to sun damage (I was a sun worshipper) and I got the freckles removed by laser and the moles removed surgically - all done in less than 20 mins. Did this out of sheer vanity! But it did cost a little bit - now am all ok

freckles can be casue by the sun and for moles to be popping up it could be a sign of skin cancer. I would go to a doctor and get it checked out and he can even get the moles removed so later on they won't cause anything

Freckles can become more pronounced with exposure to the sun but he should be worried about the moles. He needs to have them checked out soon.

No, my freckles come out more in the summer but they are always there. Moles come on as you get older sometimes and as long as they don't grow, change shape or color he should be fine.

New freckles are totally normal when skin is exposed to the sun. It doesn't take long to freckle. I don't know about moles.

i dont know if moles pop up from this, but of what i know, freckles can be caused by a certain amount of sun. maybe this is how it happened? some DO get them when theyre older though. its not impossible

Our bodies go through many hormone changes as we get older so it's not uncommon for this to happen..........HOWEVER he should get checked out by a dermatologist just to make sure everything is ok. This could also be a sign of something serious. It's better to be safe than sorry.

He needs to get checked out by a dermatologist (Skin Doctor) he could be developing Melanoma (Skin Cancer) he needs to get checked out as soon as possible

well some times they don't. in your friends case he has probably got them from the sun and that means that he might need to see a doctor because it can be cancerous
