Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I need to see the lesions to comment if they are actually moles or something else. To give you a rough description moles (or melanocytic nevi as they are medically called) are flat topped or dome shaped black or brown coloured 1mm-several cms, papules.
They are common and normal. They may or may not grow in size and new lesions may keep on occuring. There is no medication to stop them for occuring. treatment is limited to surgical removal of individual lesions.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Its important to see the lesions what you are getting ..if its black flat or raised , it can be a mole..need to differentiate from a wart which actually spread fast and is infectious.If its a mole you can get it removed by a laser machine.Even a wart can be removed with the help of lasers..or one can go for electro cautry machine .If you can tell me where you belong to i can help you suggest a good laser clinic.Before that its important to diagnose it ,so kindly consult a dermatologist for that.
take care,
Dr.Chawda
