Proximal thumbnail matrix biopsy..benign 17mo ago. return next wk for follow up after cont'd change in pigmented lines. what to ask/expect? biopsy #2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy repair: This may be repair from the previous biopsy where there is often a little bit of hemorrhage which with time causes pigmentation as the blood is reabsorbed by white blood cells.
