Mole, Wart and Skin Tag Removal in Thalassery

The Full Minor-Procedure Menu at the Founding Clinic

Examination comes before removal, always. Moles are viewed under a dermatoscope; anything with an irregular pattern is excised with a margin and sent for histopathology, and the clinic’s own biopsy service makes that routine rather than a referral. Benign growths are then removed by whichever method leaves the least mark: radiofrequency for tags, dermatosis papulosa nigra, milia and small moles; the CO2 laser for warts, corns, calluses, syringomas, xanthelasma and thicker keratoses; liquid nitrogen cryotherapy for selected warts and keratoses.

Warts get special attention because they recur. Beyond laser and cryotherapy, the founding clinic offers intralesional immunotherapy, injections that train the immune system to clear the wart virus, for multiple, recurrent or stubborn warts, with the useful side effect that untreated warts elsewhere often clear too. Molluscum in children is treated gently or watched, depending on the child.

Beyond skin growths, the same procedure room handles nail avulsion for painful ingrown or fungal nails, ear-lobe repair for torn or stretched piercings, and ear and nose piercing done with sterile technique. Each is a short visit under local anaesthetic, and Dr. C.P. Thajudheen and Dr. Swathi P see the patient themselves rather than delegating.

Healing after any of these is five to ten days of a small scab, then a mark that fades with sunscreen. On Malabar skin the energy is kept low and the aftercare is explained plainly, because picking and sun are what turn a clean procedure into a lasting spot. If skin tags are multiplying alongside a dark velvety neck, the consultation will suggest checking for insulin resistance.
