Overview

Dermatophytosis tends to get worse during summer, with symptoms alleviating during the winter. Skin medicines usually treat ringworm within 4 weeks. If the ringworm infection is severe or it does not respond well to self-care, it will usually respond quickly to antifungal pills.

Natural History

The symptoms of dermatophytosis usually develop in people living in low socio-economic, tropical and sub-tropical areas; where high humidity, excessive sweating, poor sanitation predispose individuals to superficial fungal infections. Patients may also present with a history of recent intake of immunosuppressive drugs, exposure to infected pets, diabetes mellitus or long-term use of occlusive footwear (for example athletes). If left untreated, dermatophytosis may lead to significant distress for the patient due to chronic pruritis and development of complications such as cellulitis, alopecia, bullous eruption on the area involved or disseminated infection.[1]1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Complications

Complications that can develop as a result of dermatophytosis are:[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Prognosis

Dermatophytosis is associated with an excellent prognosis and early therapy leads to successful resolution of symptoms.[13][14][15]
