Q: I seem to be developing tiny black moles on my face (especially on the cheeks). What are these and how are they formed? How can they be removed?

A:From your age (23 years) and the recent onset of your problem, it is likely that you have an ineffective problem and not the freckles, lentigines and nevocellular naevi. Probably you have plane warts or filiform warts. You need to be seen by a dermatologist to make a diagnosis before any treatment can be contemplated.
