The Gillies temporal incision is a safer and more cosmetically appealing method for biopsy of the superficial temporal artery.
research 571 Role of observation for excisionally biopsied moderately dysplastic nevi with positive histologic margins and risk of development of future melanoma
Watching, not removing, skin growths with moderate atypia and positive edges is okay; patients may get melanoma elsewhere, especially if they've had it before.
research The role of the scalp biopsy in the evaluation of alopecia
A scalp biopsy is essential for accurately identifying different types of hair loss.
