Mole and Skin Tag Removal

Moles and skin tags are common skin growths that can sometimes cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. At PARI HOSPITAL, we offer expert treatments to safely and effectively remove moles and skin tags, helping you achieve smoother, clearer skin with minimal downtime.

What Are Moles and Skin Tags?

Moles: Moles are pigmented growths on the skin that can vary in color, size, and shape. Most moles are harmless, but changes in their appearance or new moles that develop after the age of 30 should be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out skin cancer.

Skin Tags: Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, or under the breasts. While skin tags are typically harmless, they can become irritated or cause cosmetic concerns.

Causes and Risk Factors

Both moles and skin tags can arise due to a variety of factors:

• Genetics: A family history of moles or skin tags can increase your likelihood of developing them.
• Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy or other life stages can lead to the formation of new moles or skin tags.
• Friction: Skin tags often develop in areas where the skin rubs against itself or clothing.
• Age: Moles and skin tags can become more common as we age.

Advanced Removal Techniques

At PARI HOSPITAL, we use several effective methods to remove moles and skin tags, tailored to your specific needs:

• Excision: This surgical procedure involves cutting out the mole or skin tag with a scalpel. Excision is often used for larger or deeper growths and is performed under local anesthesia. The removed tissue is then sent for histopathological analysis if necessary.

• Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the mole or skin tag with liquid nitrogen. The extreme cold causes the growth to fall off over time. This technique is suitable for small to medium-sized growths and is quick and effective.

• Electrosurgery: This method uses an electric current to remove the mole or skin tag. The electric current burns away the growth, and the area typically heals quickly. Electrosurgery is commonly used for smaller growths.

• Laser Removal: Laser removal uses focused light to target and destroy the mole or skin tag tissue. This method is precise and minimizes damage to surrounding skin, making it ideal for delicate areas and smaller growths.

Benefits of Removal

Removing moles and skin tags offers several benefits:

• Improved Appearance: Eliminate unsightly growths and achieve smoother, clearer skin.

• Comfort: Remove growths that may be causing irritation or discomfort due to friction.

• Peace of Mind: Ensure that moles are evaluated and removed if there’s any concern about skin cancer.

• Minimal Downtime: Most removal procedures are minimally invasive, allowing you to return to your daily activities with little recovery time.
