Mole removal takes a mole off the skin by cutting it out or shaving it flat, either because it might be cancerous or for cosmetic reasons.

The NHS advises seeing a doctor if a mole changes size, shape or colour, has an uneven edge or a number of colours, itches, bleeds or crusts, or is new and looks unlike your other moles.

In the NHS, moles are removed only when they might be cancerous, generally after an urgent referral, while harmless moles are removed privately.

Any mole that is removed should ideally go for testing, as one that looks harmless can occasionally be a melanoma.

Excision leaves a fine line scar and shave removal a flat pale spot, and the healing wound should be protected from the sun.

Fitness to fly: skin and laser treatment does not normally affect flying, but keep the treated area out of the sun and follow the aftercare plan on the journey.

In Chennai, the price of mole removal is generally built from these parts:

• Course length: how many sessions are planned.
• Machine used: the laser or light device.
• GST: which can apply to cosmetic skin treatment.
• Method: excision or shave removal.
• Number and site of moles: face or body.
• Lab testing: of the removed tissue.
• Setting: generally outpatient.

This is a short outpatient treatment, so a Chennai costing near the upper end of the range above would be unusual. Ask what the price covers, including any lab test.

Skin and laser treatments in Chennai are provided by dermatology clinics and hospital departments, so ask which machine will be used and who will operate it.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Chennai, find the surgeon on the Indian Medical Register run by the National Medical Commission and ask which state council registration they hold.

Private hospitals and clinics in Tamil Nadu have to register under the state's Clinical Establishments (Regulation) Act of 1997, with rules issued in 2018, so you can ask a Chennai provider to show its registration.
