Diagnostic skin biopsy for accurate diagnosis of skin conditions.

A skin biopsy removes a small sample of skin tissue for microscopic examination — the definitive method for diagnosing skin conditions including skin cancers, inflammatory diseases, and infections. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes only a few minutes. Different techniques (punch, shave, or excisional biopsy) are selected based on the lesion type and location. Results are analyzed by a dermatopathologist who examines the tissue under a microscope. This analysis provides a precise diagnosis that guides treatment decisions. Most biopsy sites heal within 1–2 weeks with simple wound care.
