    I don't have a large number but yes quite a few more have arrived over the last few years.

    Also a return of three very large moles which I had removed with nitrogen over 20 years ago. One of which had to be removed again surgically this time.

    I have one flat, quite large and very rough feeling arrived on my left side and one right between my boobs and another on my right side which are very raised.

      Mine are all flat very small some are darker than others but they just seem to be appearing I've been looking it up and it can happen in peri as in childhood and pregnancy. Something to do with low oestrogen.i hope they stop coming and things settle down it's really worrying me.  Scared to look in the mirror!!

      Well I didn't really associate it with anything to do with menopause. But yes I'm now in menopause and the mole things came around 3 to 4 years ago so when I was in peri.

      I don't seem to be getting any more recently so it would seem they do stop coming.

      The really big one I had to have removed arrived whilst I was pregnant and I had it removed because it was right on my knicker line and lacy tops of my knickers made it really itchy. Then about 4 years ago it came back, small at first but grew quite rapidly to the same size it was before.
