Punch biopsies and incisional biopsies.

alicki

Hello,

I don't know where to post this but I would just like to know if anyone had problems with their punch or incisional biopsies of the skin (taking a chunk out of the skin). Mine came back negative (3) and one with inflammation but no cancer but the skin around the biospy is still slightly swollen. How long does this last? Do biopsies make skin thicker? I suppose they injure the skin and we need to let nature take its course!

And if you did not have cancer, how long did it take for the lymph nodes to go down if they swelled after biopsy??

Thanks for any feedback,

Alicki
