Wart, Mole & Skin Tag Removal in Kollam
Dermatologist diagnosis before removal. Dermoscopy evaluation for all pigmented lesions. Cryotherapy, electrocautery, laser, and bleomycin for HPV warts. Never remove a mole without dermoscopy — DermaVue Kollam follows this non-negotiable protocol.
DermaVue Kollam follows one non-negotiable rule: dermatologist assessment and dermoscopy before any lesion removal. Warts, skin tags, moles, DPN, seborrhoeic keratoses, and molluscum all look similar to the untrained eye — but have completely different treatments and risk profiles. Melanoma has been misidentified as a common mole. Steroid cream applied to warts causes rapid HPV spread. Correct diagnosis is the treatment.
Topical steroids suppress local immunity — the opposite of what's needed for HPV wart clearance. This is one of the most common self-medication errors in Kerala, turning single warts into dozens within weeks. Always see a dermatologist for diagnosis first.
