Hi just wondering about other's experiences at first appointments.
Is it possible that they will do a biopsy same day or is it always done on a return visit ?
Hi
Mine have always been done on a return visit. This can be because the dermatologist you see doesn't do operations but mainly because there wouldn't be time within your appointment for the procedure to be carried out.
