Fungal skin disorders

S J Rupke. Prim Care. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

Fungal skin infections are becoming more common, and primary care physicians must be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Dermatophyte infections including tinea pedis, corporis and cruris; pityriasis versicolor; and cutaneous candidiasis are the focus of this article. Common presentations of these disorders, the differential diagnosis, and current treatments are stressed. With the newer agents, shorter treatment courses can be used, and oral therapy for widespread, resistant, or recurrent infections is discussed.
