A skin biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of skin is removed so it can be examined under a microscope. This helps your physician diagnose skin conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and skin cancers.

Topical treatments for skin cancers are medications applied directly to the skin. They are often used for superficial or early non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as well as precancerous conditions like actinic keratosis or (IEC)/ Bowen’s Disease.

An excision is a surgical procedure in which a doctor/surgeon removes an area of skin for diagnosis or treatment.

A skin graft is a surgical procedure in which a piece of skin is removed from one area of your body (donor site) and transplanted to another area (recipient site) where skin has been damaged, lost, or removed.
