Skin Biopsy
If you have a skin issue that cannot be diagnosed visually, a skin biopsy can provide our staff with the answers they need – and in turn, the treatment you need.
Whether it’s a mole, a lesion or a rash, a skin biopsy can be taken to help our staff get more information to see what needs to happen next. |
