Service Providers for SSF from Elbow
SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the elbow is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections on the skin of the elbow or surrounding areas. The procedure involves scraping the affected area to collect a sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for culture. The test helps diagnose fungal infections such as tinea corporis (ringworm), Candida infections, or other dermatophyte-related conditions. The sample is cultured to promote fungal growth, and sensitivity testing may be performed to determine the most effective antifungal treatment. Results typically take a few days to a week, depending on fungal growth.
