What are Skin Biopsies and How They Work
Skin biopsies involve extracting a small sample of skin tissue to be examined microscopically. There are several methods, including punch biopsies, shave biopsies, and excisional biopsies. The technique used depends on the type and location of the skin lesion. During the procedure, the area is numbed with a local anesthetic, and a sample is carefully taken. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, where dermatopathologists can diagnose various conditions, such as skin cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases. This process is essential for providing accurate and timely treatments based on the findings.
These services may be covered under MSP if they obtain a referral from their Primary Care Provider to Dr. Arthur Vasquez (09874).
