As #dermatologists we biopsy suspicious skin lesions that look like they could be cancerous. Another part of my job that most people don't know is that I actually spend a decent amount of time learning dermatopathology, meaning I examine biopsy specimens under the microscope! We learn what each skin disease looks like on the skin and stained and sectioned under the microscope. Ever seen a tick mouthpiece magnified 100x in someone's skin? Trust me, you don't want to! #teawithmd #wearfigs #dermatology
