Hello,
If there is rapid increase in size or colour change, you must be cautious as it can be a sign of early skin tumors. You can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. A biopsy may be required if the moles looks suspicious.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
