Se tomará una muestra de la infección de mi pie para ver qué tipos de gérmenes (bacterias) están causando la infección. Esto involucra tomar un raspado de mi infección, usar una aguja para extraer fluido de la infección (pus) o cortar tejido de la infección - visita de evaluación.
I thought perhaps "curettage" but wondered whether this term would be used on an informed consent (easy-to-understand language is used throughout the text). Any suggestions?

In keeping with the "easy-to-understand" language of the rest of the document...
Skin Scrapings
Skin scraping examinations are used to identify fungal infections of the skin, mouth and nails. Fungus lives in the stratum corneum layer of the skin. KOH is used to digest this layer of skin so that the fungal growth with its visible hyphae and spores is exposed. Skin scraping examinations are indicated in areas of broken hair or baldness, presence of scaly lesions on the skin, crumbling or scaly nails or nail beds, and white plaque in the mouth.
