Skin Scraping

Skin scraping is a diagnostic procedure where a small sample of skin cells and debris is gently collected using a blade or scalpel. This sample is then examined under a microscope to identify issues such as parasites (like mites), fungi, or bacteria. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and helps veterinarians or doctors determine the cause of skin problems, infections, or irritation. It’s an important tool for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning, especially in cases involving unexplained skin issues or infestations.
