Dear CROSS colleagues,
Some say that the skin is the window to our inner health, serving as a crucial indicator to our overall well-being. It acts as a robust barrier against external threats while regulating body temperature. Despite its resilience, skin requires diligent care due to its delicate nature.
Various skin lesions are extremely common amongst patients, necessitating biopsies for diagnosis. How to do a skin biopsy and what types of biopsies are possible? Discover the ins and outs of skin biopsies, including techniques and types, at our workshop, 'Whack-a-mole: Skin biopsy', hosted by the Students Surgical Society in collaboration with the Students Society for Dermatovenerology.
Learn how to identify lesions requiring further evaluation and effectively communicate the biopsy process to patients, whether referring them to a secondary medical facility or performing the biopsy yourself.
