Dermatophytid Reaction
Diagnosis of Dermatophytid Reaction
Examination of skin scrapings Doctors base the diagnosis of dermatophytid reactions on an examination of Scrapings . Scrapings taken from the areas that have the dermatophyte infection show the fungus, but scrapings taken from the areas that have the dermatophytid reaction do not. This combination of findings indicates that the second (separate) eruption is a dermatophytid reaction.
