"Skin biopsy"

About: Outpatients Centre / Dermatology

(as the patient),

A few weeks ago I was in Stirling dermatology for a skin biopsy on my forehead. I am very nervous about procedures especially needles. David and Lena were in charge of my procedure and were absolutely brilliant, professional and informal which calmed my nerves a lot, there was no sugar coating as I was warned about how uncomfortable the local aesthetic injection would be. The stitching work has recently been removed, and has healed really well, very low pain after the procedure. The scarring is appearing very minimal and again have to credit both David and Lena for making the procedure quick and as comfortable as possible, I was in and out within 20 minutes. I would also like to commend the fantastic staff nurse who removed my stitches very quickly (unfortunately I do not remember her name).
