Primary diagnosis starts with a thorough physical exam and evaluation of medical history. Often, the condition is readily apparent to a medical practitioner and no further testing is required. If not readily apparent, a skin biopsy test or<unk>  culture may be ordered. This pathological examination of the skin biopsy helps to arrive at the correct diagnosis via a<unk>  culture (mycology). In severe or recurrent cases, further workup may be required. This disease commonly affects both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. However, immunocompromised individuals have a higher risk.
