If your symptoms are relatively recent, a skin punch may not
show much pathology. The studies being done on the dorsal roots in primates showed that the damage at the dorsal root level for a period of time, then migrates down to atrophy the peripheral nerves. Since they are not receiving the proper signals from the dorsal roots, then they atrophy away, but this takes time.
If you have had the allodynia for a longer period of time, then the skin punch may show more damage. But nothing is 100% yet.
I am just putting this out there, in case.
