About Skin Biopsy
Diagnose Clearly. Treat with Precision
We perform accurate skin biopsies to diagnose various skin conditions, from rashes to cancer. Our dermatologists use advanced tools and sterile techniques, ensuring minimal discomfort, prompt healing, and precise lab analysis for tailored treatment decisions.
Types of Skin Biopsy
Precise Diagnosis Through Skin Biopsies
Skin biopsies help diagnose rashes, tumors, infections, and autoimmune conditions for timely and accurate dermatologic intervention.
Punch Biopsy
Circular tool removes full skin layer for deep evaluation.
Shave Biopsy
Removes surface-level growths or lesions for diagnosis.
Excisional Biopsy
Removes entire lesion or tumor, often with stitches.
Incisional Biopsy
Partial lesion removal for testing large rashes or growths.
Nail Bed Biopsy
Used for persistent nail abnormalities or melanoma suspicion.
Mucosal Biopsy
Taken from lips or genitals to examine unusual lesions
Causes of Skin Biopsy
- Unclear Rashes: Need biopsy to determine cause—eczema, psoriasis, or autoimmune disease.
- Changing Moles: Assessed to rule out melanoma.
- Non-Healing Ulcers: Checked for infection, malignancy, or vascular issues.
- Chronic Itchy Lesions: Rule out lichen planus or dermatitis herpetiformis.
- Pigmented Skin Lesions: Biopsy ensures it’s benign or cancerous.
Treatments of Skin Biopsy
- Sterile Punch Tool Use: Removes tissue cleanly for lab analysis.
- Local Anesthesia Application: Ensures painless biopsy collection.
- Lab Histopathology: Microscopic diagnosis of skin diseases.
- Stitching Post-Excision: Used in deep biopsies to promote healing.
- Wound Dressing: Protects site and prevents infection.
