What is Skin Biopsy? Read the full explainer →

Skin Biopsy

A skin biopsy takes a small sample of skin so a pathologist can look at it under a microscope. This code covers the shallow kind, where the lesion is shaved or scooped off the surface rather than cut out in a deep wedge. The sample, not the removal, is the point.
