What could be the reason for something that looks like a mole at the back of the head?

Hi,

Welcome to Icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It looks like you have warts on the head. It is important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. They will be able to assess the warts and recommend the most suitable treatment options for your specific situation. Here are some common treatment methods for warts:

1. Topical medications: Your doctor may prescribe a topical medication, such as Imiquimod or Podofilox, which you can apply directly to the warts. These medications work by stimulating the immune system to fight the virus that causes warts or by directly destroying the wart tissue.

2. Cryotherapy: This procedure involves freezing the warts using liquid nitrogen. The freezing causes the warts to blister and eventually fall off. It may require multiple sessions for a complete removal.

3. Electrosurgery: Also known as electrocautery, this procedure uses an electric current to burn or destroy the warts. It is usually performed under a local anesthesia.

4. Surgical excision: In some cases, the warts may be surgically removed using a scalpel or other surgical tools. This method is typically reserved for larger or more resistant warts.

5. Laser therapy: Laser treatment uses an intense beam of light to destroy the wart tissue. It is often used for larger or difficult-to-treat warts. It is worth noting that some warts may require multiple treatment sessions, and recurrence is possible even after successful treatment. Additionally, some treatments may cause temporary discomfort, such as redness, swelling, or scarring.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
