Skin growths such as moles, warts, and skin tags are extremely common. While most are harmless, many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic, comfort, or medical reasons. Thanks to advanced dermatologic techniques, procedures like mole removal, wart removal, and skin tag removal are now quick, safe, and minimally invasive.
What Are They?
Moles are pigmented skin spots that can be flat or raised . They form when skin cells called melanocytes—which produce the pigment in your skin—grow in clusters . Most moles are benign, but changes in size, shape, or colour should be evaluated by a dermatologist .
Causes:
Genetics and hereditary factors
Sun exposure, which stimulates melanin production
Hormonal changes during puberty or pregnancy
When to See a Doctor:
Dermatologists often recommend mole removal if a mole changes shape, size, or colour, or if it is simply for cosmetic reasons . Suspicious moles may require a biopsy to rule out skin cancer .
What Are They?
Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) . Unlike moles, warts are contagious and can spread through skin-to-skin contact or shared surfaces .
Causes:
HPV infection entering the skin through small cuts or abrasions
Weakened immune system
Frequent use of communal areas like gyms or pools
Common Types:
Plantar warts (on the feet)
Flat warts (on the face or hands)
Common warts (rough, raised, often cauliflower-like)
What Are They?
Skin tags are soft, flesh-coloured growths that typically develop in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin . They are non-cancerous but may cause irritation or cosmetic concern .
Causes:
Friction from skin rubbing against skin or clothing
Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy
Obesity and insulin resistance
Genetic tendency

Surgical Excision
Radiofrequency Ablation

Dr M S Premika is a qualified Aesthetic Dermatologist with MBBS and DDVL qualifications and 10 years of overall experience. Her specialised training ensures safe, effective removal of moles, warts, and skin tags tailored to your specific needs.
All removals are performed in a clinical environment using sterile techniques. Dr Premika uses advanced methods, including radiofrequency and CO2 laser, for precision, minimising scarring and ensuring optimal cosmetic results.
Not all skin growths are the same. Dr Premika performs a thorough examination to determine whether a growth is benign or suspicious. Suspicious lesions may be sent for histopathology to rule out malignancy.
Most procedures are quick outpatient treatments. You can walk in, get your growth removed, and return home the same day with minimal downtime. Skin tags can be removed in just 5–10 minutes.
Each patient receives a customised treatment plan based on the type, size, and location of the growth. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions to support smooth healing.
Dr M S Premika's Skin & Hair Clinic is a trusted destination in Tirupati for skin growth removal, with a commitment to evidence-based, compassionate care.
Not during the procedure, thanks to local anaesthesia. You may feel slight soreness afterwards, which settles quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Usually, only a faint line remains, which softens and lightens over time. When done by a skilled dermatologist using gentle methods, scarring is minimal. For deep moles, Dr. Premika may remove it over 2 to 3 sessions to minimise scarring.
Skin tag removal usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes. It is one of the quickest dermatologic procedures.
Home-based lesion removal carries risks including bleeding, scarring, infection, incomplete removal, and missed cancer detection . Professional removal provides safe, controlled, and cosmetic results.
