Is it normal for a skin biopsy site that's on a constantly moving part of the body to get tender and bleed slightly? only tender at the top of site.

Well depends: If the biopsy was a few days ago then perhaps normal. If however biopsy was a few weeks ago then no. Better see the doctor who did the biopsy then
