What a Skin Biopsy Is
The most accurate diagnostic procedure in dermatology
Histological diagnosis
The gold-standard test
A skin biopsy allows a precise diagnosis through microscopic analysis of the sampled tissue. It is the definitive test for clarifying the nature of a suspicious lesion.
Technique tailored to the lesion
Punch, excisional, shave
The sampling technique is chosen according to the type, location and size of the lesion, with the aim of obtaining a representative sample while minimising the aesthetic impact.
Outpatient procedure
Under local anaesthesia
The biopsy is performed in the clinic on an outpatient basis, under local anaesthesia. The procedure takes just a few minutes and does not require complex preparation.
Analysis at accredited laboratories
Report interpreted by our dermatologist
The sample is sent to accredited external pathology laboratories for the definitive histological examination. The dermatologist at Centro Eudermia then interprets the report and recommends the most appropriate next steps.

“I went to the doctor for a dermatological removal. As well as being extremely kind, she was excellent and very gentle. Very meticulous throughout the visit. I had a great experience and will definitely go back.”
