Detailed explanation-1: -An excisional biopsy is often used if your provider thinks you may have melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. It may also be used for basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer. After the biopsy, keep the area covered with a bandage until you’ve healed or until your stitches come out.
Detailed explanation-2: -Skin biopsy. If the doctor thinks that a suspicious area might be skin cancer, the area (or part of it) will be removed and sent to a lab to be looked at under a microscope. This is called a skin biopsy.
Detailed explanation-3: -As part of a complete skin cancer prevention strategy, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that adults see a dermatologist at least once a year for a professional skin examination. In addition, any time you see something new, changing or unusual on your skin, make an appointment to get checked right away.
