Pigmentation & growths

Moles

Moles are common pigmented growths that are usually harmless. Dr. Maharania examines any new or changing mole and advises whether it can be left alone, watched, or needs referral for removal.

Symptoms & signs

Signs of Moles can vary from person to person. Common ones include:

Brown or black raised or flat spots
Usually round with even borders
May appear in childhood or later
Concern if changing in size or colour

When to see a dermatologist

The problem is spreading, worsening, or not improving with home care.
It is painful, itchy, bleeding, or affecting your sleep or confidence.
Over-the-counter creams have not helped after about two weeks.

Treatment approach

Most moles need no treatment. Dr. Maharania checks whether a mole looks harmless, needs observation, or should be referred for removal or biopsy. Avoid cutting, burning or applying home remedies to a mole.

What to expect

Assessment

Dr. Maharania examines the affected area and asks about your history, triggers and any treatments you've already tried.

Diagnosis

A clear explanation of what it most likely is, what warning signs matter, and whether referral is needed.

Next step

Observation, medicines where appropriate, or referral guidance if a procedure or specialist care is needed.

Follow-up

Follow-up only when needed, with WhatsApp available for appointment help and practical guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Do all moles need removal?

No. Most moles are harmless and only need examination or observation. A mole that is changing, bleeding or suspicious may need referral for removal or biopsy.

Can WhatsApp help before I visit?

WhatsApp can help with appointment booking and basic guidance, but most patients are best assessed in person at the clinic.

When should I get a mole checked?

Get checked if a mole is new, changing in size, shape or colour, bleeding, itching, painful, or looks different from your other moles.

Where can I consult for Moles?

Dr. Kailash Maharania sees patients at Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur and at Jhunjhunu. WhatsApp is available for appointment booking, timings and directions when you cannot visit immediately.
