This course provides a rigorous clinical framework for diagnosing and managing superficial dermatophyte infections, including tinea corporis, cruris, and capitis. Participants will examine the transition from localized topical therapy—utilizing agents such as clotrimazole, miconazole, and terbinafine—to systemic antifungal regimens required for extensive, recalcitrant, or hair-bearing infections. The curriculum highlights the importance of correct dosing duration to prevent relapse, the role of patient education in avoiding misuse of steroid-containing OTC creams, and strategies for managing fungal infections in complex patient populations such as those who are immunocompromised.
