Skin versus nerve biopsy.
Would a skin biopsy (epidermal) be better, as from what I have read these seem to cause less longterm problems than nerve biopsies?
I don't know if the skin biopsies have become the biopsy of choice now for all instances of PN, but they seem to be less invasive, less painful, produce less scarring and can be repeated in the same spot subsequently to detect deterioration of nerve densitity.
