General information about skin biopsies:

A skin biopsy is a procedure that helps the dermatologist confirm the correct diagnosis when the clinical presentation is atypical or not representative. During the procedure, a small piece of skin is taken for laboratory examination.

Before the biopsy is performed, inform the dermatologist if:

• You are taking aspirin or anticoagulant medication
• You have a known allergy to local anesthetics (e.g., Xylocaine)
• You have a blood clotting disorder
• You have any serious health condition

The biopsy procedure is simple and is performed in the dermatology clinic. A local anesthetic is administered at the sampling site, making the procedure painless.

The skin sample is excised using a special instrument (punch), and gauze or a suture is then applied to control bleeding. The area is covered with a dressing.

After the procedure, you will need to remain under observation at the clinic for 30 minutes, and you will be given instructions on how to care for the biopsy site.
