How will the Test Feel?
A scraping or biopsy of the skin lesion will be taken. The skin area will be cleansed to avoid contamination with bacteria on the surface of the skin. A local anesthetic may be injected into the skin if a biopsy is taken. A pin-prick sensation may be felt as the anesthetic is injected. There may be a sensation of pressure at the site of the scraping or biopsy.
