Leprosy shows as patches on the skin and one way to test it is the pen test. Here the participants demonstrate the pen test where the selected individual is asked to close his eyes and a pen is used to prick him on the patch. The individual is then asked to identify where he was pricked to check if he felt the prick. As leprosy affects the nerve system, leprosy patients usually cannot feel the prick.
