Mycological Testing of Nails and Skin
At our podiatry center in Warsaw, we offer comprehensive molecular (PCR) and microbiological mycological tests with an antibiogram.
Why is it worth doing a mycological test?
Skin lesions, nail discoloration, itching or flaking of the skin on the feet are symptoms that should not be ignored. Mycological testing allows us to identify the cause of the problem and implement effective therapy.
We offer three types of specialized tests, individually selected based on the patient’s needs. If you’re looking for professional mycological testing in Warsaw, our podiatry center guarantees quick diagnosis and expert care.
All tests are performed with the highest standards of hygiene and safety, in cooperation with a renowned diagnostic laboratory.
What types of tests do we perform?
Genetic Test for Psoriasis
This modern test detects genetic predispositions to psoriasis. If you notice chronic skin peeling, recurring inflammation, or changes in your nails, this test may provide the answer.
How is the test done?
We collect a cheek swab or a scraping from the skin or nail, which is sent to a genetic laboratory. The result is available within a few days.
Why is it worth doing?
The test helps confirm or exclude psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, making it easier to choose appropriate dermatological treatment.
Molecular Mycological Test (PCR)
This is the most accurate fungal test, based on the analysis of pathogen DNA. It is ideal when symptoms are ambiguous and a fast, accurate diagnosis is needed.
When is it done?
In cases of suspected fungal infections of the nails or foot skin, especially when home treatment does not work.
What does the result show?
Precise identification of the fungus enables targeted treatment without the risk of recurrence.
Microbiological Test with Antibiogram (Swab)
This test identifies bacteria responsible for infections and determines their sensitivity to specific antibiotics (antibiogram).
For whom?
For individuals with purulent infections, inflammation of the nail folds, or weeping wounds.
Why is it important?
It allows for effective pharmacological treatment by eliminating bacteria resistant to standard drugs.

Great professional service, reasonable prices and very good location.
I definitely recommend it! A professional facility where specialists conduct consultations and treatments thoroughly and sensibly.
How does the nail testing process work?
During the visit, the specialist carefully assesses the condition of the nail and surrounding skin, then collects an appropriate sample—usually a gentle scraping from under the nail plate. The process is painless and conducted in sterile conditions to ensure maximum safety.
The sample is sent to a certified diagnostic laboratory for detailed analysis. Within a few days, you will receive the results along with an explanation and individualized podiatric recommendations for the most effective treatment.
