Understanding KOH Staining, Hair in Rajkot


What is KOH Staining, Hair in Rajkot?

 

KOH (Potassium hydroxide) staining is a simple, non-invasive test that helps diagnose fungal infections of the hair. Hair are collected from the affected area and examined for signs of fungal infections under a microscope.

A KOH test is recommended for individuals

  • to diagnose fungal infections of the hair and scalp
  • to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for fungal infections
  • to identify other conditions related to fungal infections

A KOH test does not explicitly identify the type of fungus; it only shows that fungus is present. In most cases, knowing precisely the fungus may not be necessary. The doctor can make an informed judgment and prescribe treatment.
