Punch Biopsy
ALWAYS CALL 111
IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
The doctors in our urgent care clinic are all skilled and experienced in dealing with all types of urgent medical care, "everything and anything" that comes in through the door.
A punch biopsy is a small diagnostic procedure in which a sample of skin is taken using a circular punch instrument, under local anaesthetic.
The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis to help establish a diagnosis. It is generally used where a skin condition cannot be diagnosed by examination alone.
The procedure is quick, and we will contact you to discuss the results once they are received.
