A straightforward, uncomplicated result can often be given within 2 to 3 days after the biopsy. A more complicated result can take 7 to 10 days if more testing on the tissue is needed. Talk with your doctor about how you will receive the results of your biopsy and who will explain these results to you.
Biopsy sites usually take 3-4 weeks to heal. During this time, you should expect the sites to be somewhat tender to the touch â especially in the bath or shower. You should also expect to see a thin rim of redness around the edge of the biopsy site. If the biopsy site is on your face, and you do not want to wear a bandage, it is especially important to apply Vaseline to the biopsy site 2-3 times a day. In other locations, like on the back, it will be easier to care for your biopsy site if it is allowed to dry out and form a scab.
