For years no doctor would biopsy my vestibular skin saying it would only add to the trauma. Finally, I encountered a gynecologist who suggested it was appropriate. It is done in the doctor's office and consists of a lidocaine injection (the painful part) and then a 3mm "punch" that extracts a tiny amount of skin. One stitch that dissolves on its own. No pain afterwards. Easy peasy. The results came back as "minimally chronic inflammation." Unfortunately, inflammation is not well understood medically. I have added ibuprofen into the mix to see if that will help because it is an anti-inflammatory. I am also strictly following my allergy diet.
