There are several ways to do a skin biopsy. Most procedures are easily done in your doctor's office or an outpatient medical office.
Which procedure you have depends on the location, size, and type of lesion. A lesion is an abnormal area of the skin. This can be a lump, sore, or an area of skin color that is not normal. You will receive some type of numbing medicine (anesthetic) before any type of skin biopsy. There is a brief prick and sting as the anesthetic is injected. The biopsy area may be tender for a few days afterward.
Sometimes there are things you can do that may positively affect your outcome. Here are some examples. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your provider.
To get the best quality of care, be informed! Don’t be afraid to ask for a clearer explanation or to ask questions. Consider these topics when talking with your provider.
