Abstract
Dermatophytosis is the most common superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails. Tinea corporis, tinea cruris and tinea pedis are highly prevalent and frequently recur in India. Dermatologists and general physicians in India have been observing an increase in the prevalence of superficial fungal infections and find it clinically challenging to treat recalcitrant dermatophytosis due to new isolates, antifungal resistance, patient non-compliance, changing pathophysiology and symptoms. This review discusses the pharmacology, clinical efficacy, and safety of different dosage regimens of weekly oral fluconazole.
