Is it normal for a shave biopsy of an actinic keratosis to still be red almost 8 months later?
I am not a doctor but I had a shave biopsy on my right leg in January. It is now July and it looks worse. There is a large mole-like lesion from this biopsy. I think I did not put enough cream on it and it dreid up. I just had one on my right arm yesterday. Will keep you up to date on it. I am taking care of this one much more, putting antibiotic cream and bandage on it daily.
