skin/dermitology question

I am fair skinned and have always had freckles.  After I had my son, my face turned very blotchy, brown blotches & many white spots.  Also, I've grown more moles in the past few years and some of them are just not feeling or looking right to me.  I have red ones, brown ones, dark brown ones.  One is even scaly & has very irregular border.  Another one is big & red and not totally round. Also, On my forearms, I have what look like liver spots, they are brown & scaly, flat (almost look indented).  I'm only 34 and have never spent excessive amounts of time in the sun (I never wanted my freckles to come out.)  Also, I have alopecia areata, which has been acting up this year (more stress).  I just feel like something is going on with my skin.  I've been searching for a dermatologist.  Any insight or advice from a doctor or someone with similar symptoms would be great.    Thank you.

Hello,
For the change in the moles, I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. If you notice changes in the mole's/mark’s color, height, size or shape, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it. You also should have it checked if it bleeds, oozes, itches, appear scaly, or become tender or painful.Otherwise it should be left as such.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
