Moles are growths on the skin which should not be confused with age spots. They happen when cells in the skin, called melanocytes, grow in a cluster with tissue surrounding them. Most people have between 10 and 40 moles. A person may develop new moles from time to time, usually until about age 40. About one out of every 10 people has at least one unusual (or atypical) mole that looks different from an ordinary mole. They may be more likely than ordinary moles to develop into melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Because of this, you should have a health care professional check your moles if they look unusual, grow larger, change in color or outline, or in any other way.
There are a number of different ways to get rid of age spots. For a start I would suggest using a cream which will cause the spots to fade over a period of a few weeks. If you want immediate results you acn try chemical peels or the more expensive laser resurfacing treatment.
