- Abstract
This article presents the findings of a clinical trial that compared the effectiveness of two antifungal creams, ciclopirox olamine and terbinafine hydrochloride, in treating dermatophytosis. The study involved 60 patients with tinea corporis, tinea cruris, or tinea faciei, who were divided into three groups and treated with different creams for 6 weeks. The results showed that both creams were effective in treating the condition, but the combination therapy of both creams had a better response and lower relapse rate. The study acknowledges its limitations, such as a small sample size and short follow-up period, but concludes that the combination therapy is effective with no significant side effects.
