There are a number of reasons for a biopsy site to heal slowly. It also depends which part of the body the biopsy was taken. If it is an area that is rubbing or receives a lot of pressure it will be slow to heal. There are medicines (ex:prednisone, cancer meds etc..), systemic disease(Ex:Diabetes), poor circulation, as well as smokers that are slower to heal. The wound should also be evaluated for a possible infection. I would definitely recommend going back to the physician who performed the biopsy for further evaluation and possible treatment
