What this page covers
Moles, warts, and skin tags are common skin growths that can be removed safely using advanced clinical procedures like radiofrequency (RF) or electrocautery.
At Dr. Divya's Skin Clinic, we evaluate all growths before removal to ensure they are benign. Procedures are done in-clinic under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort and support clean healing.
Moles (nevi) are clusters of pigment cells. Warts are caused by a viral infection (HPV) and can spread to other areas of the body if picked or left untreated. Skin tags are harmless, raised growths commonly appearing in areas of friction (like the neck or underarms).
Removal using radiofrequency offers high precision with minimal bleeding and scarring. Self-removal using home remedies, threads, or over-the-counter acids is highly unsafe and can lead to severe infections or permanent scars.
