Moles, warts, skin tags and other small growths are among the commonest reasons for a dermatology visit in Pune. Some are a cosmetic nuisance on the face or neck, some catch on clothing, jewellery or razors, and a few need a proper look because they have changed. Removal itself is quick; the examination before it matters just as much.
Warts are caused by a virus and spread by touch, so they are treated early and completely to stop new ones appearing on the hands, feet, face or beard area. Moles are checked under a dermatoscope by Dr. Daksha Patel, an MD dermatologist, to confirm they are harmless before removal. Any mole that is growing, changing colour, itching or bleeding is assessed carefully and sent for testing where needed.
At our Kalyani Nagar clinic, growths are removed under local anaesthesia using radiofrequency, laser or cryotherapy depending on the type, size and site, with the aim of leaving as little mark as possible. Most patients go back to work the same day.
