Service Providers for Skin Scrapping for Fungus from Lips
A Skin Scraping for Fungus from the lips is performed to diagnose fungal infections like oral candidiasis (thrush) or other dermatophyte infections affecting the lips. The procedure involves gently scraping the affected area on the lip to collect a sample of skin cells and any visible fungal material. This sample is then examined under a microscope or cultured in a lab to identify the specific fungus. Preparation includes cleaning the area. Risks are minimal, though irritation or mild discomfort may occur. Results typically take a few days, and they help guide antifungal treatment if necessary.
