Skin biopsy?

pinkangelmoon

Has anyone had a skin biopsy done? Did it hurt or was it bothersome after?

Emma will be having one done tomorrow   She's had a persistent neck rash and while it goes away with hydrocortisone creams, it comes back when we stop using it.  Fungal and bacterial cultures were negative. Only way to get a diagnosis is to do a skin biopsy. I'm panicking just thinking about it, but we're just ready to find out what's causing it.  Ugh I feel so bad for her.  The area will be numbed but I'm worried it will hurt afterwards. It will only be about 4mm but she will need a stitch.

I've never had one done but wanted to wish her luck and speedy recovery! Hope this gets to the bottom of the problem.

Thanks ladies, that makes me feel better! She's getting the area numbed with cream an hour before the shot so hopefully she won't even feel that.

I have had a lot of them done and even one behind my ear in a "tender" spot like I can imagine the neck will be and it was tender for a day or so but with some Tylenol it was fine

Hoping you guys get answers fast!
