I was glad you posted it though, I hadn't even considered that they might do it with just a topical. I had my biopsies today. The doctor used a local anesthetic, I felt no pain with the biopsy from the inner right cheek, but the left side wasn't as numb when the biopsy was taken. No stitches. Can anyone tell me if it is the same for a tongue biopsy? They did not do that one today.
