Dr. Goldstein explains when a punch biopsy should be performed and why.

Dr. Goldstein:
A punch biopsy should be done if there are abnormalities seen on the vulva, and that’s either during a physical exam or an exam using an instrument called a colposcope or a vulvoscope, which is just a microscope that we use to look at the vulva.
