Skin Biopsy

What is a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of skin tissue is removed for laboratory analysis. It can help diagnose different skin conditions and determine the nature of a skin lesion.

What specialist do I need for a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy is usually performed by a dermatologist, who evaluates the lesion, selects the appropriate technique, and collects the tissue sample for further analysis.

When might I need a skin biopsy?

A skin biopsy may be recommended when a skin lesion requires a more precise diagnosis, such as a changing mole, unusual spot, non-healing lesion, new growth, or unexplained skin change. Analysis of the tissue sample helps guide diagnosis and treatment.
