My mom has developed some extra skin growth on her finger I've attached a photo. I'm thinking surgery might be needed but I'm not sure which type of doctor to see in Bangalore. Can you suggest a specialist or hospital for this?
For a skin growth on a finger, a dermatologist is the best specialist to consult in Bangalore. They can accurately diagnose the growth, determine if it's a skin tag (a common, benign growth), or if further investigation (like a biopsy) is needed. If removal is necessary, a dermatologist can perform it in a safe and efficient manner.
