If the marks and discoloration has not changed in size or appearance since childhood, it is likely that what you have is a birthmark or mole.
No intervention is required if the moles are not raised or do not have hair growing from them. If they do, it is best to have it evaluated by a dermatologist who can decide whether they could become malignant in the future.
If you notice any alteration, such as rapid growth or spread, you should consult a dermatologist ASAP.
Do keep us posted on any further doubts in this regard.
