Histology is a specialized laboratory service that involves the microscopic examination of skin tissues (biopsy) to diagnose various skin diseases, infections, tumors, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

This test is often recommended by dermatologists when the visible symptoms are unclear or when a deeper understanding of the skin’s cellular structure is needed for diagnosis.

    •    Suspicious moles or lesions
    •    Skin cancer screening
    •    Chronic rashes or eczema
    •    Autoimmune skin disorders
    •    Fungal or bacterial infections
    •    Unknown skin growths or lumps

Procedure Includes:

    •    Tissue sent to lab for processing
    •    Microscopic examination by a histopathologist
