What should you do?  Call an exterminator? Throw away all of your clothes? Take a shower? Where do you get scabies? Who gives them to you?

All things SKIN BIOPSIES. 

Do you have a dermatology appointment coming up? 
Have you been seen by a dermatologist? 

This episode discusses the INs and OUTs of the dreaded SKIN BIOPSY. Know before you go! I discuss the different types of skin biopsies, risks and benefits, consent, photographs, medication used for numbing up your skin, tools used, immediate aftercare, and what happens to the biopsy.  A must listen to podcast for anyone with skin!

This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only. It should not substitute for seeing a qualified healthcare professional in person. If you have any skin concerns or questions about skin biopsies, I recommend that you see a board-certified dermatologist.
