About Skin Biopsy
Skin Biopsy is a procedure that removes a small sample of skin for laboratory testing. It is used to diagnose various skin conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and skin cancers. Depending on the lesion’s characteristics, a dermatologist may perform a punch biopsy, excisional biopsy, or shave biopsy, usually under local anesthesia for minimal discomfort.
