What Causes Sudden Development Of Moles Below Chest And Buttocks?
I am 34 and I have developed two moles in the last month. One is on the right side just below my bra line. It s small and brownish. It only came to my attention because it itched. The second one is on my right butt cheek. I first thought it was a pimple because it was a little tender. I squeezed it a few times and it never popped. I finally looked at it in the mirror a week later, and it was a fairly good sized, raised, black mole. I ve never noticed a mole of that size on my butt before, and my boyfriend said if that had been there before he would have noticed it. So I had two moles that seemed to appear within two weeks of each other. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the mole development is of no reason and usual cases are auto immune mediated phenomenon via alteration in melanin metabolism pathway. So far as there are no signs of abnormality as below , you can be rest assured of its benign course or nature:
- Sudden increase in size
- Change in color, consistency
- Irregular border
- Larger than 1 cm size
- Unusual discharge or bleeding
- Systemic features of weight loss
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
