Default Your effects--
--sound very unusual--first time I've ver heard of that much spreading numbness--was it a SKIN biopsy?

Skin biopsies for small-fiber neuropathies involve very shallow samples--generally only about 1mm deep and 3mm in diameter (smaller than a pencil eraser). The biopsy sites are small enough to be covered by a little round band-aid.
