A skin biopsy is a minor medical procedure used to diagnose suspicious skin lesions under local anaesthesia. It involves removing a small sample of tissue for laboratory analysis to determine whether a lesion is benign, pre-cancerous, or cancerous.
Punch Biopsy – Removes a cylindrical sample of skin for in-depth examination.
Shave Biopsy – A superficial removal of abnormal skin layers.
Excisional Biopsy – A full removal of a suspicious lesion for complete assessment.
A biopsy is an essential first step in diagnosing skin cancers like melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Early detection ensures more effective treatment and better health outcomes.
