• smear from the surface of the affected skin to carry out the analysis for the presence of viral or fungal infection;
• the blood from his finger for a clinical study on the overall health status of the body;
• morning urine which shall be fasted for biochemical analysis;
• blood from a vein in the concentration of hormones, the immune system cells, the possible presence of severe infections (syphilis, HIV, Staphylococcus aureus).
