Hey @Vamp27, welcome to our little community!   I had one done on my right arm a few years ago - was raised and different colours, so my GP did it as a precaution (I'm incredibly fair skinned and had red hair when I was younger, so freckle city!!). The punch biopsy pretty much took all of it and it's now not there, just a smooth piece of clear skin surrounded by freckles. That one was clear as well with regards to the results.   If you're at all worried though, I'd suggest you go to your GP and discuss it with them, or see a different GP if you're not happy.
