Skin Biopsy
A skin biopsy is used to diagnose or rule out certain skin conditions and diseases. Three main types of skin biopsies include shave biopsy, punch biopsy, and exicisional biopsy. The type of skin lesion will determine which biopsy method is used. Samples are sent to the pathologist for evaluation. To learn more about skin biopsies, visit the Mayo Clinic website.
