There are several types of skin biopsies -

• Shave biopsy: The doctor shaves a thin layer from the top or around a lesion.
• Punch biopsy: The doctor uses an instrument called a punch to remove a circular section through all layers of the lesion.
• Excisional biopsy: The doctor uses a scalpel to take off the entire lesion. This method is used for smaller lesions.
