Moles & Warts

Moles and warts are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. While most are harmless, some may cause cosmetic concerns, discomfort, or require medical attention if they change in appearance.

Moles

Moles are clusters of pigmented skin cells that usually appear as small, brown or black spots. Most moles are benign, but any sudden changes in size, shape, or color should be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out skin cancer.

Warts

Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can occur on the hands, feet, face, or other areas and are contagious through direct contact. Warts may spread if left untreated and sometimes become painful, especially on pressure areas like the soles of the feet.

We offer safe and effective treatments for both moles and warts, including:

• Cryotherapy (freezing) for wart removal
• Laser treatments for precise and scar-minimized removal
• Electrocautery or radiofrequency procedures
• Minor surgical excision for larger or suspicious moles
• Topical therapies to manage recurrent warts

Why Consult a Dermatologist?

Self-removal or over-the-counter remedies often leave scars or cause recurrence. A dermatologist ensures the safest method of removal, with minimal discomfort and reduced risk of infection or regrowth.
