" 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)

This is not correct - Yeast IS a type of fungus. Fungi include Moulds such

as Tinea, Yeasts such as Thrush (Candida) and even Mushrooms etc. At least

for " normal, mainstream " thinking. I'm sure different people have different

ideas!
