Honest information
A skin biopsy is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical intervention, it carries some risks.
Bleeding
Minor bleeding may occur at the biopsy site, which is usually controlled with pressure.
Infection
Rare but can occur. Signs include redness, warmth, and pus at the site.
Scarring
Some degree of scarring is expected, varying with the biopsy technique and site.
Allergic reaction
Possible reaction to the local anaesthetic or dressing materials.
If something concerns you at home
Keep the biopsy site clean and dry, changing dressings as instructed. Avoid strenuous activities until healing is complete. Contact your doctor if you notice signs of infection or experience severe pain.
