Precision Diagnostics
A skin biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of skin tissue is removed, processed, and examined under a microscope. It is often necessary when a clinical examination alone isn't enough to provide a definitive diagnosis.
At DermaTales, Dr. Pooja Varshney performs various types of biopsies, including punch, shave, and excisional biopsies, depending on the nature of the skin lesion. The procedure is quick, performed under local anesthesia, and aims for minimal scarring.
