What is a Biopsy?
A biopsy is a medical procedure performed to diagnose various skin conditions and diseases. It involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the affected area for further examination under a microscope. Biopsies are crucial in determining the presence of skin cancer, infections, inflammatory skin conditions, and other abnormalities.
Types of Biopsies
At Norton Community Medical Associates, we offer several types of biopsies to cater to the unique needs of our patients. These include:
- Punch Biopsy: This procedure involves using a specialized tool to remove a small, circular piece of skin for analysis.
- Shave Biopsy: During a shave biopsy, a thin layer of the skin is removed using a sharp blade.
- Excisional Biopsy: In an excisional biopsy, the entire abnormal area or lesion is surgically removed.
- Incisional Biopsy: Incisional biopsies involve removing a small section of the affected area for analysis.
- Needle Biopsy: This type of biopsy involves using a fine needle to extract cells or tissue samples.
The Biopsy Procedure
When you visit Zero Gravity Wellness - ZG Wellness & Dermatology for a biopsy, our skilled dermatologists will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate biopsy procedure. The chosen method will depend on factors such as the size, location, and nature of the affected area.
Prior to the procedure, our team will provide detailed instructions to ensure you are well-prepared. Local anesthesia is typically administered to numb the area, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Once the biopsy sample is obtained, it is sent to our pathology laboratory for analysis by our expert dermatopathologists.
