Skin Biopsy and Diagnostic Procedures

A skin biopsy is a diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of skin tissue is removed and examined to diagnose conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, skin cancers, or chronic rashes. At Skin Shine, biopsies are performed using methods like punch, shave, or excisional biopsy, depending on the suspected condition. This process is done under local anesthesia and is quick and relatively painless. The sample is sent to a lab for histopathological analysis, providing precise information that guides further treatment. Dr. Shraddha recommends a biopsy when the skin issue is persistent, changing, or unclear despite clinical examination. In addition to biopsy, Skin Shine offers dermoscopy, skin scrapings, and culture tests for comprehensive skin diagnosis. Our goal is to identify conditions early and treat them effectively. Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward targeted, successful skin treatment, and we ensure the process is safe, hygienic, and fully explained to the patient.
