You can use local anesthetic and it is recommended. Main advantage is control of biopsy depth.

Good technique, a clean quick job. excellent method for resource poor settings which lack a punch biopsy device. Can LA be used in the procedure ?

Could I do this on my own fibrous papules?

Thank you. I've never seen this technique before. Appears like a excellent way to control tissue planes. I'll try this tomorrow on the plantar foot.
