A member asked:
I did a shave biopsy on a rash that won't go away for several months it came back normal could the biopsy have missed it or it's most likely right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: A biopsy will give a pathologic diagnosis which is the gold standard. Talk with your doctor about the results if you still have concerns.
