Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the follow up.
If there is no increase in number or size then there is nothing to worry.
These appear to be simple moles and can be removed by using radiofrequency ablator.
You can visit a dermatologist and get them removed.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
