Skin growths like moles, warts, and skin tags are extremely common, and while often harmless, they can be a source of cosmetic concern, irritation, or even worry about underlying health. Whether you're bothered by their appearance, they snag on clothing, or you're concerned about a changing mole, seeking professional dermatological assessment and removal is crucial for both aesthetic and health reasons.
At AdvanCell in Dhaka, our expert dermatologists provide safe, precise, and effective removal services for moles, warts, and skin tags. We prioritize accurate diagnosis, patient comfort, and achieving the best possible cosmetic outcome, ensuring your peace of mind and clearer skin.
You might benefit from our removal services if you have:
Moles:
You are concerned about its appearance or location.
It frequently gets irritated by clothing or shaving.
You notice any changes in size, shape, color, or texture (ABCDEs of melanoma: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter >6mm, Evolving).
It is itchy, bleeding, or painful.
Warts:
You find them cosmetically undesirable.
They are painful or uncomfortable, especially on weight-bearing areas (e.g., plantar warts).
You want to prevent their spread to other parts of your body or to others.
They are resistant to over-the-counter treatments.
Skin Tags:
They are irritating or painful due to friction with clothing or jewelry.
You find them cosmetically bothersome, especially on the face, neck, or underarms.
It's essential to understand the nature of these common skin growths:
Moles (Nevi): These are common growths on the skin that develop when pigment cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters. Most moles are harmless and benign. However, some can change over time and may become cancerous (melanoma), making professional assessment vital.
Warts: Caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), warts are contagious skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. They vary in appearance (e.g., common warts, plantar warts on feet, flat warts). They can spread from person to person or from one part of your body to another.
Skin Tags (Acrochordons): These are small, soft, benign growths of skin that often appear on the neck, armpits, groin, or eyelids. They are typically flesh-colored or slightly darker and often occur in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are harmless but can be irritating.
At AdvanCell, patient safety and precise diagnosis are paramount. Our dermatologists will first conduct a thorough examination of the lesion(s) to accurately identify their type and, especially for moles, to rule out any signs of malignancy. We then discuss the most appropriate removal method, prioritizing efficacy, minimal scarring, and your comfort. All procedures are performed under strict sterile conditions.
Based on the type, size, location, and nature of the lesion, our dermatologists may recommend one or a combination of the following advanced removal techniques:
Surgical Excision:
Ideal for: Moles suspicious for malignancy (allowing for biopsy), larger benign moles, or deep-rooted lesions.
Process: The dermatologist numbs the area, carefully cuts out the lesion and a small margin of surrounding skin, and then stitches the wound closed. The removed tissue is sent for histopathology (biopsy) to confirm its nature.
Benefits: Complete removal, ability to biopsy, low recurrence rate.
Shave Excision:
Ideal for: Raised moles that are benign, skin tags, and some warts.
Process: After numbing, the lesion is "shaved" off flush with the skin using a specialized blade. No stitches are usually required. The tissue can still be sent for biopsy if needed.
Benefits: Quick, minimal scarring, no stitches.
Cryotherapy (Freezing):
Ideal for: Warts, skin tags, and some benign superficial lesions.
Process: Liquid nitrogen is applied to the lesion, freezing and destroying the abnormal cells. A blister forms, which then scabs and falls off. Multiple sessions may be required for warts.
Benefits: Non-invasive, quick, minimal discomfort.
Electrocautery / Radiofrequency Ablation:
Ideal for: Skin tags, warts, and certain small, benign moles.
Process: A small electrical current or radiofrequency energy is used to precisely burn and destroy the tissue of the lesion. This method cauterizes blood vessels, minimizing bleeding.
Benefits: Precise, effective, minimal bleeding, quick.
Laser Ablation:
Ideal for: Certain types of warts, or very superficial benign lesions. (Less commonly used for moles that require biopsy, as the laser destroys the tissue).
Process: A focused laser beam vaporizes the lesion's tissue.
Benefits: Precise, can be useful for difficult-to-treat warts.
Accurate Diagnosis: Ensures appropriate treatment, especially crucial for moles.
Improved Appearance: Achieve smoother, clearer skin without unwanted growths.
Relief from Irritation & Discomfort: No more snagging or rubbing.
Prevention of Spread: For contagious conditions like warts.
Peace of Mind: For suspicious moles, histological analysis confirms benignity or malignancy.
Minimal Scarring: Our dermatologists use precise techniques to minimize the appearance of scars.
