Hello,

I can understand your concern. If the black dots are painless and not having any other symptoms, they can be just moles like birth marks that do not require any treatment and should be accepted as part of the body.

However, if the dots increase in size, swells up, ulcerates or cause any other symptoms, a dermatologist or physician should be consulted for clinical examination and further investigations.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
