A skin biopsy procedure is used by dermatologists to identify and diagnose various skin conditions, including skin cancer, benign (not dangerous) skin growths, and skin rashes. Performed under local anesthetic, the doctor takes a small sample which is sent for examination under a microscope by a pathologist. Patients are notified of the biopsy result as soon as they are available, which is typically 2-7 days. <\/span><\/p>\n
