A member asked:
Skin biopsy take sample from foot or hip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Usually skin biopsy is taken from the site of the lesion. If the biopsy is for a systemic disorder like lupus, then it may not matter where it is taken from. Neither foot nor hip are usual sites for biopsy, unless the lesion happens to be there.
