Service Providers for Hair For C/S
A hair sample for Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) is a diagnostic test used to identify bacterial or fungal infections affecting the hair or scalp. A sample of hair, often including scalp debris, is collected from the affected area using sterile tools. The sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is cultured to identify pathogens and determine their sensitivity to specific antibiotics or antifungal treatments. The procedure is painless, quick, and non-invasive. Results from cultures may take several days to weeks. Patients should avoid using medicated hair products before the test to ensure accurate detection and help guide appropriate treatment.
