Service Providers for Nail Clipping for Fungus
Nail clipping for fungus involves collecting a small sample of nail tissue to test for fungal infections, commonly used to diagnose onychomycosis (nail fungus). The sample is examined under a microscope or cultured in a laboratory to identify the specific type of fungus. The procedure is simple, involving minimal discomfort or risk, typically just slight pain during the clipping. Results confirm the presence of a fungal infection and help guide appropriate treatment with antifungal medications. This test is essential for diagnosing nail infections that may not respond to over-the-counter treatments.
