A member asked:
What does overlying reactive pigmented epidermal hyperplasia mean? i had a punch biopsy done a few days ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A benign change: It means the overlying skin is a little thicker and a little darker than elsewhere. This is common overlying a benign dermatofibroma or benign fibrous histiocytoma.
