General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

A repeat biopsy is required. As BCC is a slowly growing one and thus no need to hurry. It will be better to go for a wide excision rather than small biopsy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
