Hello

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend.

He is 24, pushing 25, and has noticed more moles on his skin than before. For the most part, they're all extremely small (pinpoint-size), and none of them are really strange (multi-color, huge, non-symmetric, etc). Is this normal behavior? Do adults get new moles? He has always had a decent amount of moles and a birthmark or two, but there have been a lot of new moles as of late (within the past cople weeks/month).

He is a somewhat active person, and spends a decent of time in the sun. He doesn't spend every waking moment outside like an athlete or outdoorsman, but there is a lot of time spent in the sun on vacations and during football games and the like. Does a lot of exposure to sunlight relate to having more moles? Especially, this many new moles, this late in the game?

Thanks!
