Hi. I don't normally post things but I'm slightly unsure of my upcoming biopsy. A year ago I had a punch biopsy on my scalp. The results came back as clear. Problem was that my wound became infected and took a bit longer to heal. Now a year on and the site still scars over and bleeds.

I recently had an appointment to discuss a more recent biopsy (I've had 12 in a 18 months with mostly bcc results) and mentioned my scalp to the specialist. Upon looking at it he thought it best to do another punch biopsy and close the wound again. 

My question is, why would they take another biopsy if the results were clear a year ago? *sorry for long post*
