Skin biopsy and histology
When examination alone is not enough
A skin biopsy removes a small sample of skin or a lesion under local anaesthetic. A pathologist examines it microscopically to help distinguish inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, or neoplastic change.
The doctor chooses the biopsy type and site so the sample is diagnostically useful. Depending on depth and size, the wound heals naturally or is closed with one or more stitches.
