Hi Terri, I have an appointment to see the dermatologist on Monday. I’m hoping that she can do a skin biopsy on my neck and I want it to be tested for herpes. If needed, can she send the biopsy to your clinic? I know that you don’t think that what I have is herpes, but this would greatly reduce my anxiety about what I have on my hand. I just want to make sure that if she tells me that there is no place that she can send the biopsy to to get tested for herpes that I may possibly have a back-up place to send it to. I’m just trying to cover all my bases.
If she can send it to your clinic, what are the directions as to how she needs to send it? Packed in ice, overnight, etc.
As always, thanks for your responses.
