Hi,
You seem to have melanocytic nevi. The condition is benign. However, you consult dermatologist periodically to rule out malignant changes.
If you feel embarrassing, you may go for removal of the nevi by either surgical excision or electrocautery..done under local anaesthesia.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
