The procedure is called a biopsy. During a biopsy, a small sample of tissue is removed from the skin and sent to a dermatologist or a pathology lab for examination. This is done to diagnose skin conditions, including cancer, infections, or other abnormalities. The results help guide further treatment if necessary.
