Biopsy
we offer expert skin biopsy services to accurately diagnose various skin conditions and diseases. A skin biopsy is a simple procedure that involves removing a small sample of skin tissue for examination under a microscope. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose skin conditions such as:
-
Skin Cancer: Skin biopsies are crucial in diagnosing various types of skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection through biopsy can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
-
Skin Infections: Biopsies help identify the cause of skin infections such as fungal, bacterial, or viral infections. Precise diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment and prevents complications.
-
Inflammatory Skin Disorders: Conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and lupus erythematosus can be diagnosed through skin biopsies. Understanding the underlying pathology aids in developing effective treatment plans.
-
Allergic Reactions: Skin biopsies may be performed to investigate allergic reactions, contact dermatitis, or other hypersensitivity disorders. Identifying the allergen is essential for avoiding future exposure and managing symptoms.
