Skin Biopsy

A skin biopsy is a procedure to remove cells or samples of skin from your body for laboratory analysis. A skin biopsy is a procedure used by doctors to identify skin diseases and remove abnormal tissue. The Sanjay Rithik Hospital is dedicated to providing each patient with the individualised care they require and deserve.

Why Sanjay Rithik Hospital was Best One For Skin Biopsy

The following skin disorders and conditions can be identified or treated with the help of a skin biopsy:

  • Atopic keratosis
  • Pemphigoid bullous and other blistering skin conditions
  • Skin inflammation conditions
  • skin malignancies such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma
  • Skin infection can occur.
  • body tags
  • suspicious growths such as moles
  • Warts

The skin biopsy actually occurred.

In order to cut the tissue for a shave biopsy, our doctor employs a sharp instrument, such as a scalpel or a double-edged razor. The incision varies in depth. In a shave biopsy, blood occurs. To halt bleeding, you might use pressure and a topical medicine.

The top layer of fat beneath the skin is excised for a punch biopsy or an excisional biopsy. To close the incision, stitches can be required. The wound is then covered with a bandage to shield it and stop bleeding.

Results

The skin biopsy sample is sent to a lab by  Sanjay Rithik Hospital for analysis. Depending on the type of biopsy and the lab’s processes, results could take a few days or longer, sometimes even months.
