Surgical Same-day where suitable
When a rash or growth cannot be named by looking, a small sample under local anaesthetic gives a definite answer. Mole mapping documents your moles so change is caught early.
A punch or shave biopsy takes a few minutes and a few millimetres of skin. The result, read by a pathologist, directs the right treatment and avoids months of guessing.

Ask on WhatsAppA biopsy is the removal of a small piece of skin for examination under the microscope. It is used for rashes that have not responded to treatment, unusual growths, suspected skin cancer and conditions such as lupus, lichen planus and scarring alopecia.
Mole mapping is a documented examination of all your moles with dermatoscopic photographs, repeated at intervals so that any change is seen and acted on early. It is advised for people with many moles, a family history of melanoma, or a previous skin cancer.
Treating a rash with the wrong diagnosis wastes months and can cause harm. A biopsy ends the uncertainty. Early detection of skin cancer is the difference between a small procedure and a serious illness.
The process
The dermatologist chooses the site and type of biopsy that will give the clearest answer, and explains what the sample is being tested for.
In the clinic, same visit:
A small mark that heals in one to two weeks. Stitches out at seven to ten days.
The report comes back in about seven to ten days. The dermatologist explains it and starts the treatment it points to.
