A Skin Biopsy procedure is a non-invasive medical procedure where a small sample of your skin is taken and analyzed under a microscope. This is to determine what’s going on in the skin. This helps identify the presence of different skin conditions, such as skin cancer, rashes, infections, and such.
There are 4 ways to perform a Skin Biopsy:
This is the most common technique for a skin biopsy. A small, circular tool is used to get a sample of your skin tissue the size of a pencil eraser. This means it will sample deeper layers of your skin, from the epidermis, to the dermis, & some fat. Sizes may vary depending on the body site, so you shouldn’t worry about getting a big scar.
This is where a thin blade or scalpel is used to scrape the underside of the skin lesion to be analyzed. This includes the epidermis & the top layers of the dermis. This is a superficial biopsy & has the least chance of getting a scar.
This involves using a scalpel to surgically remove part of a tumor for analysis.
This involves using a scalpel to surgically remove the entire tumor & some healthy tissue surrounding it for analysis.
