Dermatophytosis: Navigating the Sands of Fungal Infections
Dermatophytosis, a fungal infection that affects the skin, hair, and nails, can be a challenging condition to manage. This review discusses the current treatment options for dermatophytosis, highlighting advancements in antifungal therapy. The authors note that while topical treatments can be effective, oral antifungal agents, such as griseofulvin and ketoconazole, have historically been used for more recalcitrant or extensive infections. However, prolonged use of ketoconazole can lead to serious side effects. The introduction of newer antifungal agents, such as itraconazole, fluconazole, and terbinafine, has revolutionized the treatment of dermatophytosis, offering improved efficacy and safety profiles. This review underscores the importance of personalized treatment approaches and the ongoing pursuit of effective antifungal therapies.
