SSF from Scalp Price in Bangladesh

What is SSF from Scalp?

SSF (Superficial Scraping for Fungi) from the scalp is a diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections on the scalp. The procedure involves scraping the affected area to collect a sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for culturing.

Common fungal infections on the scalp include tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), which is typically caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton or Microsporum species. The cultured sample allows the fungi to grow, and sensitivity testing may be performed to identify the most effective antifungal treatment.

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

What to expect & how to prepare

SSF from Scalp 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 Scalp result rather than self-diagnosing.
