Honest information
Scalp biopsies are generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects.
Mild discomfort
Temporary discomfort at the biopsy site can occur, usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Bleeding
Minor bleeding may occur and should stop quickly with pressure.
Infection
Signs include redness, warmth, or discharge. Contact your dermatologist if these occur.
Scarring
A small scar may form at the biopsy site. Proper care reduces this risk.
If something concerns you at home
