What is a skin biopsy?
A skin biopsy is a minor, in-office procedure where a small sample of skin is removed and sent to a lab for testing. It helps diagnose rashes, infections, inflammatory conditions, and skin cancers with accuracy.
A biopsy is recommended when a skin spot, growth, or rash can’t be confidently diagnosed by visual exam alone. It provides clear answers so the right treatment plan can be chosen.
The area is numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure. You may feel brief pressure, but the biopsy itself should not be painful.
The procedure usually takes just a few minutes. Most appointments are quick and performed during a regular office visit.
Depending on the concern and location, your dermatologist may perform a shave, punch, excisional, or incisional biopsy to obtain the most accurate result.
Any procedure that breaks the skin can leave a small mark, but biopsies are done carefully to minimize scarring. Your provider will discuss scar care and healing expectations.
