Service Providers for SSF from Hip
SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the hip is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections on the skin of the hip area. The procedure involves scraping the affected area of the skin to collect a sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for culture. Fungal infections such as tinea corporis (ringworm), Candida infections, or other dermatophyte-related conditions can affect the hip area. The cultured sample allows fungal growth, and sensitivity testing may help identify the most effective antifungal treatment. Results typically take a few days to a week, depending on the fungal growth rate.
