Safe mole removal — with biopsy when needed.
Dermatologist-led mole evaluation and removal — radiofrequency for benign moles, surgical excision for any lesion needing histology. Cosmetic outcome and clinical safety — both.
What it is, plainly.
Mole removal looks simple — and is simple, when done with the right approach. The key is knowing which moles are benign (most), which need biopsy (some), and which method best preserves cosmetic outcome (different per location and depth).
Dr. Anitha personally examines every mole using dermoscopy. Anything with even mild suspicion goes for histopathology before or at the time of removal — we never burn off a mole that should have been read by a pathologist.
For benign moles, we choose technique by location, depth and skin type: radiofrequency snip for raised compound moles, shave biopsy for flat moles needing histology, full surgical excision for deep or atypical lesions. Result-first, safety-always.
Conditions and concerns we address.
- Raised brown moles (compound naevi)
- Flat brown moles (junctional naevi)
- Hairy congenital moles
- Facial moles (cosmetic concern)
- Atypical moles (with biopsy)
- Halo nevi
- Deep dermal naevi
- Childhood moles (parent-led concerns)
Step-by-step, no surprises.
Dermoscopic Evaluation
Every mole imaged at 10–20x magnification. ABCDE criteria: Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter, Evolution. Anything atypical goes to biopsy.
Photography for Surveillance
If you have many moles, we baseline-image them. New or changing moles are followed objectively.
Removal Method Choice
RF snip for clean raised moles. Shave excision + biopsy for flat moles needing histology. Surgical excision + sutures for deep or atypical.
Local Anaesthesia
Tiny lidocaine injection — procedure is painless from there.
Closure & Aftercare
Clean wound dressing; antibiotic ointment 7 days; sutures (if any) removed at 5–7 days.
Histology Result (If Sent)
Reviewed within 7 days. Benign result confirmed; abnormal result triggers further plan.

Common questions, clear answers.
Will it scar?
Every mole removal leaves a faint mark — choice of technique, post-op care and SPF compliance determine how visible. Most heal to a barely-visible flat mark.
Should I get my moles checked even if not removing?
Yes — annual full-body dermoscopy is recommended if you have many moles, family history of melanoma or significant sun exposure. Most are benign; finding an atypical one early matters.
Can it be done in pregnancy?
Elective removal is deferred to postpartum. Suspicious lesions are biopsied at any time.
How fast does it heal?
Tiny scab in 5–7 days. Pink mark fades over 4–8 weeks. Final scar (faint) at 6 months.
