Resumen

Demonstration of the technique. The disposable razor is used to obtain scales from the edge of the lesion with safety, even if unexpected movements occur. In addition, it facilitates the child's collaboration with an imitation game simulating the shaving of his father's beard. As illustrated in the video, scales can be collected by placing a sterile plastic container under the razor during the obtention of the sample or by gently tapping the razor inside the container.
