A skin lesion KOH exam is a simple skin test to check if an infection in the skin, hair or nails is caused by fungus. Cells are taken from the afflicted area, placed on a slide with a potassium hydroxide solution, and examined under a microscope for fungus indications. It is also known as a potassium hydroxide skin lesion check or fungal smear.
