Can you tell me who did your punch biopsies?.............. ce I probably won't see hiim for another three or four months after that. It's really not much different than excising a mole with a punch tool, so surely there are dermatologists who can do it. Did you have the site cauterized afterward or did they use any stitches? ................

Johns Hopkins has a skin punch biopsy mail-in package with instructions- for the doc to 'do-it-yerself'. Any PCP worth his salt can do it, but you can go to a dermatologist if'n ya want. Your doc sends the samples back to Hopkins, and they do the analysis
Its just 3 band aids. The surface about he size of a dime and similar to a 'road rash' injury. Takes about 1-2 weeks to heal. Antibiotic topical is all that's necessary. Hardly notice it. Least invasive of the tests I've had.
