Answer to Question 2

3. Culture

Rationale:
Cultures to identify infections may be conducted on tissue samples, on drainage and exudates from lesions, and on serum. Skin biopsies are used to differentiate a benign skin lesion from a skin cancer. Wood's lamp is used to identify infections through immunofluorescent studies. Patch tests are used to determine allergies.
