I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?

It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.

I have a lot of moles on my neck and throat, and they don't look great. Is there any way to remove them without surgery? I'm a bit worried about how they look and want to explore other options first.

Yes, it's possible to remove moles without surgery, but it's crucial to have them evaluated by a doctor first to rule out any potential concerns, especially if you're worried about their appearance or a possible link to skin cancer. Several non-surgical methods can be used, such as laser removal, cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery (burning), and chemical peels.
