Bifonazole 1% gel in the treatment of superficial dermatophytoses and erythrasma of the feet and groin.

Abstract

An open, non-comparative study was carried out by four general practitioners into the efficacy and tolerability of a new antifungal preparation, bifonazole 1% gel. The preparation was used once daily to treat clinically diagnosed, superficial dermatophytoses and erythrasma of the feet or groin in 91 patients of which 51 were confirmed by mycological examination. A complete mycological evaluation was available for 28 patients and a cure was recorded in 23 (89%) of these cases. Four patients reported discomfort and burning on application of the preparation and changed to alternative treatments.
