If a fungal infection is suspected, skin scrapings will be needed. These can be taken with a broad ‘banana’ blade and the edge of a scaly lesion gently scraped. The scrapings are collected on to a dark paper package for transport to the laboratory. If there is extensive involvement of a hair‐bearing area or a deep fungal infection is suspected, culture of a biopsy taken into a dry pot is helpful.
