Mole, Wart and Skin Tag Removal in Chennai

Diagnose First, Then Remove: Minor Procedures in T. Nagar

Most growths people want removed are harmless: skin tags in the neck folds and underarms that Chennai’s humidity and friction multiply, viral warts on the hands and feet, raised moles, and the tiny dark bumps on the cheeks called dermatosis papulosa nigra that run in families with darker skin. A few are not harmless, which is why every mole is examined under a dermatoscope before anyone touches it, and anything irregular is removed in a way that allows the tissue to be sent for histopathology.

The T. Nagar clinic uses three tools. Radiofrequency cautery shaves and seals small growths with almost no bleeding, ideal for tags, DPN and small moles. The CO2 laser vaporises warts, corns and thicker lesions layer by layer with precise depth control. Cryotherapy freezes warts and some keratoses without any cutting at all. The dermatologist chooses by the type of growth, its site and your skin tone, not by habit.

Procedures are done under numbing cream or a tiny local anaesthetic injection and take ten to thirty minutes, including several growths in one sitting. A small scab forms and falls off in five to ten days. On brown skin the main risk is a dark or pale mark at the site, which low energy settings, careful aftercare and sunscreen keep to a minimum. Warts can recur; the clinic treats stubborn ones over two or three sessions.

Skin tags that keep multiplying in the neck and underarms are often a sign of insulin resistance, and a dark velvety neck alongside them makes that likely; the consultation will say so and suggest a simple blood test. Dr. Shefana and the Chennai team also handle milia, seborrheic keratoses, xanthelasma around the eyes and syringomas, with the same examination-first approach.
