is it normal for birthmarks to pop up?
i have had quite a few birthmarks pop up recently, as in the past couple of years. i now have a new one that is popping up on my leg. they are small dots. is this normal? they have come up on my arms, my legs and my face.
thank you.
they are flat with my skin. small dark brown dots. i do not have freckles, as far as i know. they are not abundant in any way, they are in random places, they just will pop up.

Are you sure they aren't just freckles - if they rise above the skin you'd better get to your doctor - quick! Melanoma looks like moles or birthmarks - but true birth marks are called that for a reason.
still sounds like freckles - you do know what freckles look like, right? They can pop up after exposure to sunlight. - they are small brown spots flat on your skin.

If u weren't born with them, they're not birthmarks. However, pigment spots, moles, age spots do tend to pot up during a person's life span. If ur concerned see ur doctor, especially if it's a mole that changes shape or tends to bleed.
