Is It Normal To Have Pain After Shave Biopsy?
Question: i had a shave biopsy on my back five days ago. the site is pretty painful at times still. The middle is white. should i be concerned?
Brief Answer:
five days is too early for inflammation to go away
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Pain due to inflammation is expected 5 days after shave biopsy. Tissue takes some more time to heal.
If you can upload a picture of the site, it will be helpful. But otherwise it sounds like normal only.
Hope this helps.
