“…Some azoles like systemic ketoconazole at doses of 200 mg/day [61] and itraconazole 200 mg/day or twice daily for periods of 30 to 90 days [15,[62][63][64][65][66] are also recommended, the latter with several different therapeutic schemes (Table 2). According to our experience and the literature research, it is advised to maintain a minimum of 8 weeks in the case of griseofulvin and 6-8 weeks in systemic azoles [13,[67][68][69] and treatment should be continued until all lesions are cleared. Gupta, in 1995 [71], reported the efficacy of terbinafine in the management of MG associated with fungi of the genus Trichophyton, with good antidermatophytic activity, adequate penetration to common sites of dermatophytes (stratum corneum and hair follicle), and reduction of the recurrence at 6 months and few side effects [16,30,72,73].…”
