What are these tan spots on my b***s?!?

Question

Recently, several light tan spots, varying in size from a few millimeters in diameter, to about a centemeter in diameter, have appeared on both b***s, kind of undernieth... they are kinda like freckles, but lighter. they aren't raised or itchy or anything. i think it might have something to do with the pigment, but i'm not sure..they appeared fairly recently. is this normal? i'm 16, and i really don't wanna ask my mom. we don't get along.

Answer 1

It is totally normal to develop new moles and freckles until you're in your 40s.  It's always a good idea to keep an eye on any new spots on your skin and look for the signs of melanoma skin cancer.  You can Google for "melanoma signs" to learn more about that.

However, new freckles and moles are a normal thing for people to develop, especially during teen years.  As long as they don't look suspicious for skin cancer you are safe.  :)

They are just sun spots. Keep watching them though. If they change colors to a pink or red, or if they start to raise and become like bumps.. go to the doctor and have them checked out immediately! Until then, they should be just regular sun spots. You will continue to get those randomly thoughout your life. They aren't cancerous, but in the future if they change they could be.
