The skin biopsy is very shallow and should not bleed or cause lingering problems. The sural however, is quite brutal and can cause problems that last for years.

I had the skin biopsy.
I didn't know whether I was sensitive to the local anesthesia so the doctor did the biopsy without the anesthesia, and without requesting my consent to do it this way!!
I guess that's why he might have done it quickly and carelessly.
On the results it was written that the sample diameter was 4mm and 8mm length. Isn't it too deep?
A few minutes after I got out of the clinic I had to return because the blood went out of the thick bandage..
Later at home I also developed sensitivity/allergy to the antibiotic ointment.
When my neuro saw the scar about 2-3 months later he said it shouldn't look like that and referred me to a dermatologist.
