Punch Biopsy Treatments:

Your provider may suggest a “punch” biopsy when doing a skin check or evaluating a rash. This type of biopsy is used to evaluate a full thickness sample of skin.

Schedule a Consultation

The skin is anesthetized with local anesthesia and a small cookie cutter like device is used to take a few mm core sample of the skin. The defect (hole) is closed with stitches that will be removed in 1-2 weeks depending upon location of the biopsy.

I have been going to Dr. Lunder for 15 years+. She is a wonderful dermatologist. She watches for precancerous spots and takes great care of my skin. She is always willing to discuss cosmetic treatments but never pushes anything. Her assistant Sue is also knowledgeable and comforting. Her office Premier Dermatology has a very welcome staff. I highly recommend Dr. Lunder and this office.
