Why would you want to remove moles/skin tags/cysts/swellings?

There can be various reasons why you would want to remove any of these. They may be aesthetically unappealing, they may be growing in size, there may be a sudden change in color or growth pattern, or they may bleed or get infected. Very rarely moles have the risk of converting into cancerous growths, so it is important to get medical advice whenever there is a change in shape, size, colour of any mole or if there is bleeding from the mole.

How are these skin conditions corrected through surgical procedures?

These skin conditions can usually be removed under local anesthesia and with minimal scarring depending on the location of the mole or swelling. Depending on the size and the area where it is located, these can be excised surgically or removed by using radiofrequency cautery. If these lesions are on the face, utmost care is taken to keep the scar within the relaxed skin tension lines for minimal visibility.
