Hello.

You would need a biospecimen company or biobank. I can recommend BioIVT (former Bioreclamation) which specializes in general blood and tissue samples and can acquire them on demand.

BioIVT

There is German biobank specializing in cancer and they may have dermal oncology samples eg melanoma if you are interested in Oncology research. https://www.dkfz.de/de/presse/pressemitteilungen/2017/dkfz-pm-17-23c-Deutsche-Biobanken-europaweit-vernetzt.php

There are likely a few specialized academic biobanks, from my experience they may have what you need but there could be some limitations. You can use keyword search for "biospecimen" "bank" "skin".

One other option is to connect with a pharmaceutical company doing clinical trials in dermatology and enter in collaboration with them to use their leftover skin biopsy samples.

It would depend on what kind of samples you are looking for - punch biopsy, needle biopsy, shave biopsy or tape stripping, size of the sample you need and layers of the skin. Skin biopsy samples are not easy to store or bank, getting relatively fresh samples may be a better option.
