Get to the dermatologist A.S.A.P!!!!! If they have been changing in size, shape, or color, there is a good chance it could be skin cancer.

Causes of moles
Melanin is a natural pigment that gives your skin its color. It's produced in cells called melanocytes, either in the top layer of the skin (epidermis) or the outer layers of the skin's second layer (dermis). Melanin is then transported to the surface cells of your skin. Normally, melanin is distributed evenly, but sometimes melanocytes grow together in a cluster, giving rise to moles.
Scientists don't know why moles develop or what purpose they serve, if any, although they do appear to be determined before birth. Most moles are harmless and don't require special care, but some people have unusual-looking moles, called dysplastic nevi, which are more likely to turn cancerous than ordinary moles are. A typical moles occur most often on the back in both men and women, and also on the abdomen, chest and legs in women.
Treatment
If your doctor takes a tissue sample of the mole and finds it to be cancerous, the entire mole and a margin of normal tissue around it needs to be removed. Usually a mole that has been removed won't reappear. If it does, see your doctor promptly.
Treatment of most moles usually isn't necessary. For cosmetic reasons, a mole can be removed in several ways:
Shave excision. In this method, your doctor numbs the area around a mole and then uses a small blade to shave off the mole close to your skin.
Punch biopsy. Your doctor may remove a mole with a small incision or punch biopsy technique, which uses a small cookie-cutter-like device.
Excisional surgery. In this method, your doctor cuts out the mole and a surrounding margin of healthy skin.
These procedures are usually performed in the office of your doctor or dermatologist and take only a short time.

it is probably your diet and if you have been eating food that you have not really ate before this may be a factor.
Or it is probably your body developing . moles can grow whaterver age and sometimes its compleatly natural.
Or you probaly dont eat healthyly enough and dont exersise much, exses weight may be a problem.
But whatever you do try not to chop them of or anything it could leave scars on your skine and ruin your apperance.
