What is Skin Scrapping for Fungus from Lips?

A Skin Scraping for Fungus from the lips is performed to diagnose fungal infections like oral candidiasis (thrush) or other dermatophyte infections affecting the lips. The procedure involves gently scraping the affected area on the lip to collect a sample of skin cells and any visible fungal material.
