What does a Punch Biopsy involve? 

During the punch biopsy procedure, our dermatologists will remove any suspicious skin imperfections, such as abnormal moles, from the surface of your skin for in-depth examination, allowing us to accurately diagnose any occurring skin conditions or health issues and subsequently follow up with the best treatment for you. 
A punch biopsy can be used to diagnose and treat a range of skin diseases and conditions, such as: 
• Skin cancer, including 
-melanoma 
-basal cell carcinoma 
-squamous cell carcinoma 
• Bullous pemphigoid and other blistering skin disorders 
• Inflammatory skin conditions 
• Suspicious moles 
• Skin tags 
• Warts 
 
Within this procedure, a qualified member of our team will use a small circular tool to remove a small sample of skin for testing. This is a minimal procedure that should only be expected to last around thirty minutes and will be followed up with a second appointment to discuss your diagnosis and any necessary treatment.
