Skin growths like skin tags, warts, and moles are common and usually harmless — but they can be cosmetically bothersome or, in some cases, signal underlying health concerns. Understanding what they are, why they form, and how a dermatologist can safely remove them is key to making the right decision for your skin.
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that often hang off the skin. They are usually found on the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin folds, or under the breasts. They’re caused by friction, genetics, or hormonal changes and are generally harmless.
Warts are rough, raised bumps on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere but are common on the hands, feet (plantar warts), and around nails. Warts are contagious and can spread through skin contact or shared surfaces.
Moles are clusters of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). Most moles are harmless, but changes in their shape, color, or size could be a warning sign of skin cancer and should always be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Cosmetic concerns (appearance, discomfort, or irritation)
Bleeding or catching on clothing/jewelry
Rapid changes in appearance (especially moles — rule out malignancy)
Spread of warts due to their viral nature
✅ Best for: Skin tags, small warts, benign moles
✅ How it works: A high-frequency current burns off or cuts the lesion with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
✅ Benefits: Precise, quick, minimal scarring, done under local anesthesia.
✅ Best for: Warts, small skin tags
✅ How it works: Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the growth. The lesion falls off in a few days as the treated tissue dies.
✅ Benefits: Simple, non-invasive, no stitches required.
⚠ Note: May need multiple sessions for stubborn warts.
✅ Best for: Larger moles, suspicious or atypical moles (sent for biopsy), large skin tags
✅ How it works: The growth is cut out using a scalpel under local anesthesia. Stitches may be required.
✅ Benefits: Complete removal, histopathological examination if needed.
✅ Best for: Certain moles, skin tags, flat warts
✅ How it works: Focused laser light vaporizes the growth layer by layer.
✅ Benefits: Minimal downtime, precise, less bleeding, no stitches.
⚠ Note: Not suitable for suspicious or atypical moles (these should not be lasered without a biopsy).
Keep the area clean and dry
Apply prescribed antibiotic cream (if advised)
Avoid sun exposure until healed to prevent pigmentation
Follow-up with your dermatologist if there’s redness, pus, or excessive pain
⚠ If a mole:
Changes color or shape
Has irregular borders
Bleeds without injury
Grows rapidly
⚠ If a wart spreads or causes pain
⚠ If skin tags become painful or inflamed
While many over-the-counter treatments promise to remove skin tags, warts, or moles at home, these can cause scarring, incomplete removal, or miss early signs of cancer in moles. It’s always safer and more effective to seek professional removal by a qualified dermatologist.
If you’re considering skin growth removal, book a consultation at a trusted skin clinic to get the right diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your skin type.
