Description

What Are Skin Biopsies?

Skin biopsies are essential procedures used to diagnose various dermatological conditions. This process involves the removal of a small portion of skin for examination under a microscope. To ensure accuracy, these biopsies require the expertise of a qualified dermatopathologist.

Types of Skin Biopsies

There are three primary methods of skin biopsy: shave, punch, and excisional biopsies. Shave biopsies involve removing only the outer layers of skin, while punch biopsies extract a deeper cylinder of tissue. Excisional biopsies, on the other hand, are used when a larger area needs to be analyzed, with complete removal of the lesion.

Importance of Expertise

It is crucial to have a skilled dermatopathologist perform these procedures to obtain accurate results. Their knowledge ensures an effective diagnosis, leading to better treatment options for patients. At Stellar Pathology Consultation, all our skin biopsy consultations are handled by a American trained and board certified dermatopathologist.
