Skin Infections and Growths Treatment at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East
A skin problem does not wait for a free week. It might be an infection that is spreading, or a growth that is new or changing. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a dermatology hospital in Mumbai, and the Andheri East centre is set up to give a clear answer in as few visits as possible. Infections come from germs, while growths come from the skin's own cells, and the two are treated differently. Most cases can be assessed in one consultation. Skin infection treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai is planned around a quick diagnosis and a plan that fits a working schedule.
Symptoms to Act On
- Redness or warmth spreading from a cut, bite or scrape
- A mole or spot changing in size, shape or colour
- A growth that bleeds, itches or crusts for no clear reason
- Pain, swelling or pus around a skin lesion
- Fever alongside a skin infection
- Itching or rash that returns despite home treatment
If any of these apply, a dermatologist in Andheri East can assess it without a long wait for answers.
Diagnosis and Assessment
Diagnosis starts with a visual examination, which is often enough for a common wart or a typical mole. When it is not, the dermatologist may use a dermatoscope for a magnified view, take a skin scraping to check for fungus, or advise a biopsy for a growth that is hard to judge by sight. Where the case allows, the consultation and the needed tests are planned for a single visit. Cost estimates and insurance or cashless options, where applicable, can be discussed with the hospital team at the start. If follow-up is needed, the centre's connections through Andheri Metro station and the Western Express Highway help in fitting it around work.
Common Skin Infections
- Bacterial
impetigo, cellulitis and folliculitis, usually after a break in the skin - Fungal
ringworm, athlete's foot and yeast infections, common in warm, damp areas. A fungal skin infection often shows up in people who sweat heavily or wear closed shoes through the day - Viral
warts, molluscum contagiosum and shingles - Parasitic
scabies, spread by close skin contact
The skin infection specialists in Andheri East treat both mild and stubborn cases.
Common Skin Growths
Growths are the skin's own cells multiplying, usually harmlessly. Common types include:
- Moles
- Skin tags
- Cysts
- Seborrheic keratoses
- Actinic keratoses, linked to sun damage
- Lipomas, soft fatty lumps under the skin
Safe, minimally invasive skin growth removal treatment is available for uncomfortable growths, changing, or a cosmetic concern.
When to See a Dermatologist
A visit is worth arranging for any growth that is new, changing, or uneven, for infections that spread despite home treatment, and for anything with fever or significant pain. Delay seldom helps and can make treatment more involved.
Treatment Approaches
- Bacterial infections
antibiotic creams or tablets - Fungal infections
antifungal creams and tablets for stubborn cases - Warts
cryotherapy or topical treatment, though some clear without it - Scabies
medicines that kill mites, with close contacts treated as well - Growths
usually left alone unless they cause discomfort or concern, in which case skin lesion treatment is a straightforward outpatient procedure
