Increase in moles and skin tags on the breasts/nipples/aerola

First I want to apologize if this is TMI.
Has anyone else have new moles or skin tags appear on their breast, nipple and areola area during the pregnancy? I have so many of them and just noticed a big one (around 1cm) under my left boob and from googling it looks more like a seborrheic keratosis because is kind of rough when touching. Also, moles are dark and some are big and some smaller around the aerola. I was reading and it says that due to hormonal changes many things happen to the skin but I am so worried at this point.

I will bring this up to my OB when I go next week and then see a dermatologist but just wanted to ask because stress is killing me until then.
