Ask the nurses Skin biopsy

Skin biopsy

Offline Jaybee43 over 3 years ago

Hi 3 weeks ago I had a surgical biopsy done on my upper eyebrow. Docs think its discoid lupus as I am south asian.

My results have come back to consultants but secretary won't tell me instead of 2 weeks it took 3 weeks to come back.

Now she is saying could take upto 6 weeks for docs to get back to me.

Im worried it could be skin cancer or god knows what.

Just worried what it could be. X
