Indications:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suspected neoplasia.
\nNodules, ulcers or wounds that do not heal.
\nVesicular or pustular lesions (after infections have been ruled out and\/or treated).
\nSevere skin lesions that appear suddenly.
\nSuspected dermopathies that will require expensive, potentially dangerous (e.g. immunosuppressive) and long-term treatment.
\nWhen there has been no response to treatment, or when new lesions appear during treatment.
\nWhen the presentation suggests a disorder that is diagnosed by histopathology.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Techniques and indications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Technique<\/td>\nIndications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Punch<\/td>\n– Primary lesions that can be included in their entirety in biopsy
\n– Alopecia (important to sample several areas, including the centre of the alopecia, the margin and areas of normal skin)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Incisional\/excisional<\/td>\n– Fragile lesions (e.g. vesicles) that could rupture with the use of a punch.
\n– Deep, ulcerated lesions where the biopsy must go deep into the subcutaneous tissue
\n– Ulcerated lesions where the biopsy should contain a portion of normal skin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
