What is a Skin Biopsy?
A Skin Biopsy is a minor diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of skin is removed and sent to a specialised laboratory for microscopic examination. Depending on the skin condition, your dermatologist may perform a Punch Biopsy, which removes a small circular sample, or an Excisional Biopsy, which removes the entire lesion or a larger area for detailed evaluation.
What Can a Skin Biopsy Help Diagnose?
- Persistent Skin Rashes
- Unexplained Skin Lesions
- Pigmented Skin Lesions
- Chronic Skin Disorders
- Autoimmune Skin Conditions
- Suspicious Moles

The area is numbed to ensure a comfortable procedure.
Tissue Sampling
A Punch or Excisional Biopsy is performed, and the sample is sent for laboratory analysis.
