Service Providers for SSF from Rt. Toe
SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the right toe is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections on the skin of the toe. The procedure involves scraping the affected area to collect a sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for culturing. Fungal infections of the toes are commonly caused by dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton species, leading to conditions like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) or onychomycosis (fungal nail infections). The cultured sample allows fungi to grow, and sensitivity testing may help identify the most effective antifungal treatment. Results typically take a few days to a week, depending on fungal growth.
