Type of Skin Biopsies We Perform at Dr. G Medical Solutions
Dr. G Medical Solutions performs various skin biopsies. The method chosen will depend on the lesion’s appearance, location, and size. An anesthetic will be applied to the skin regardless of which technique is used, and for some types of biopsies, stitches, or even skin grafts may be required to restore the area.
- Shave – This is the least invasive method. It involves a simple shaving with a razor or scalpel of cells from the upper layers of the skin, the epidermis, and part of the dermis.
- Punch – The procedure is used to assess growths or sores that penetrate more deeply into the skin. A rotational cutting device is used to remove a small cylindrical section of cells from the epidermis, the dermis, and the uppermost layer of fatty tissue.
- Excisional – A physician removes the skin lesion or a region of abnormal skin, including a portion of normal tissue around it, down to or through the fatty layer of skin. If much of the skin is removed, a flap or graft from another region may be necessary to cover the excisional site and replace the removed skin.
