What is skin scraping? A skin scraping is a basic dermatological procedure. It is performed using a blade, a glass slide, and mineral oil. The skin is scraped either superficially or deep to search for mites (parasites) that live on the skin surface or hair follicle, respectively. This procedure is not intended to cut the skin, but rather scrape the skin.
With practice, skin scrapings and cytologic analysis are easy to do and can maximize our ability to appropriately diagnose and treat skin problems in many of these patients. Skin scraping and skin surface cytology are indicated to screen for infectious organisms in patients with hair loss, scaling, crusting, papules, pustules, or lichenification. These quick and easy in-house tests not only allow for the accurate diagnosis of the dermatitis and guide appropriate therapy, but also can generate revenue.
