Skin Biopsy

When a lesion or change in the skin requires a more detailed evaluation, a biopsy allows a small tissue sample to be collected and analyzed in a laboratory.

What happens during the procedure?

The area is carefully cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied to help reduce discomfort. A small skin sample is then collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The type of biopsy depends on the lesion and the clinical evaluation.

What happens afterward?

The results are interpreted together with the medical examination. The provider explains the findings and the recommended next steps based on each case.
