Product Details
- A punch biopsy is a procedure that checks for signs of skin Neoplasm.
- The condition occurs when Uncontrollable cell growth form in the skin, often due to ultraviolet (UV) light from too much sun exposure.
- Common symptoms include an irregular mole, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a red rash that doesn’t resolve.
- A dermatologist usually performs a punch biopsy. They will use a circular tool that looks like a tiny cookie cutter to take a sample of your skin.
How does it work
- During a punch biopsy, the dermatologist will numb your skin before removing part of the skin tissue. Once your provider obtains a tissue sample, they will send it to a lab for a pathologist to review for Bad cells.
- Once the area of the skin is numb, the dermatologist will place a Biopsy Punch over the skin lesion.
- They will press down and rotate the tool to cut a small circle of skin tissue.
- Generally, the sample is about the size of a pencil eraser.
- They will then use an additional tool to lift the sample out of the skin.
