    I have had a biopsy and healing was quick, a little bleeding, a couple of days taking pain killers and fine after that. I also had a lesion removed and similar healing. No problem really.

      Why did you need to have a lesion removed ? Wouldn’t it leak ? That seems drastic .

    I had one 3 weeks ago and I’ve healed nicely. Was a little tender for week or so but had no pain or bleeding. 

    Good luck!

    I had one done 1 week ago. I am feeling good at this point the tenderness has gone. There was some bleeding and discomfort for about 3 days. The "hole" from the biopsy is still visible, but it appears to be healing well!

    It is not the most pleasant thing to have a biopsy but it’s very manageable . It was as definitely sore for days and. I wore loose clothing . They put a dissolving stitch or two in mine . It’s not horrible .

    I had a sore on the inside of an inner labia. I had it for almost a year and nothing was healing it. I had the biopsy earlier in the year but he took it from just inside the vagina rather than the labia so the results were not relevant! I am still waiting for the results, but not expecting a problem and I don't have this painful sore anymore!
