" Fungal skin infections can be

diagnosed by taking a scraping and looking at it under the microscope

by a family doctor or dermatologist.

Hope that helps.

Does that include fungal related illnesses such as Seborrheic Dermatitis or

Pitysprorum folliculitus? Could a derm look at a skin scraping under the

microscope and tell if one of those two things is occurring in the prescence

of yeast? (a type of fungus)

Adam,

I am not a doctor but I believe the diagnosis cannot be made based on

microscopic examination only. They would need to let the cultures grow to

determine if yeast or other fungus is present.
