Abstract
Dermatophytosis requires a systemic antifungal treatment such as terbinafine in chronic, dry, moccassin type palmoplantar infection and for onychomycosis. Intertrigo and tinea corporis are treated with topical agents such as azoles, terbinafine or tolnaftate. Tinea capitis responds to oral griseofulvine, however a topical antifungal must be added to eradicate contagious conidia.. Whatever the localisation is, an other superficial site of infection must be looked for and a source of infection should be investigated and eradicated.
