Skin Biopsy & Lesion Removal: Protecting Your Skin & Health

September 20 2025

Your skin is your body’s first line of defense. It protects you from the outside world, helps regulate temperature, and even signals when something might be wrong with your health. That’s why paying attention to changes in your skin—especially on your feet and legs—is so important.

At Family Foot & Leg Center (FFLC), we specialize in keeping you moving comfortably and confidently. Part of that commitment includes offering skin biopsies and lesion removals right in our office. These simple procedures can make a big difference when it comes to both your comfort and your long-term health.

 

What is a Skin Biopsy?

A skin biopsy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure where a small sample of skin is taken and sent to a lab for testing. It helps detect conditions such as:

* Suspicious moles or growths
* Potential skin cancers
* Unexplained rashes or chronic skin conditions

By analyzing the sample, we can get clear answers and create the best treatment plan for you.

 

Why Remove Skin Lesions?

Not every lesion is dangerous, but many can be:

* Painful (corns, calluses, or warts that make walking uncomfortable)
* Bothersome (catching on shoes, socks, or causing irritation)
* Suspicious (spots that change color, shape, or size)

Removing these lesions not only provides relief from discomfort but also ensures that potentially serious conditions are caught and treated early.

 

Benefits of In-Office Procedures at FFLC

* Early Detection of Skin Cancer → Catch problems before they spread.
* Minimally Invasive → Small procedure, big peace of mind.
* Local Anesthesia → Comfortable and pain-free.
* Fast Lab Results → Get answers quickly so you can move forward with confidence.

At FFLC, our experienced team makes sure you’re cared for every step of the way—literally.

 

Who Should Consider a Biopsy or Lesion Removal?

You should schedule an appointment if you notice:

* A mole or spot that changes in size, color, or shape
* A lesion that bleeds, crusts, or doesn’t heal
* Painful corns, calluses, or warts that affect walking
* Any skin growth that looks different from the rest

Remember, early action is the best protection.
