SSF from Axilla Price in Bangladesh

What is SSF from Axilla?

SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the axilla (armpit) is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections in the skin folds of the armpit. This test involves scraping a sample from the affected area of the skin, which is then sent to a laboratory for culture.

Common fungal infections in this area include Candida (yeast infections) and dermatophyte infections like tinea corporis (ringworm). The culture allows the fungi to grow, and sensitivity testing may be performed to identify the most effective antifungal treatment.

Results usually take a few days to a week, depending on the fungal growth.

What to expect & how to prepare

SSF from Axilla is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your SSF from Axilla result rather than self-diagnosing.
