Procedural dermatology covers the minor surgeries that remove or treat skin conditions, including growths, cysts, scars and skin cancers. Mohs surgery is a specialised technique for removing certain skin cancers, in which the tumour is taken out layer by layer and each layer is checked under the microscope until no cancer remains. It protects healthy skin, which is especially important on the face, nose and ears.

Most procedures are done under local anaesthesia as day care. Mild pain, swelling and a scar are expected, and wound care instructions are given. Bleeding, infection, and scarring are among the risks, and follow-up checks ensure the skin remains clear. Patients seeking a dermatologist in Mumbai for skin cancer care are assessed carefully first.
