Superficial fungal infections of the hair, skin and nails are a major cause of morbidity in the world. Choosing the right treatment is not always simple because of the possibility of drug interactions and side effects. The first part of the article discusses the main treatments for superficial mycoses - keratophytoses, dermatophytosis, candidiasis, with a practical approach to the most commonly-used topical and systemic drugs , referring also to their dosage and duration of use. Promising new, antifungal therapeutic alternatives are also highlighted, as well as available options on the Brazilian and world markets.

A 54 year old man with a history of alcohol related polyneuropathy, depression, and carcinoma of the vocal cord who had recently finished a course of radiotherapy presented to his general practitioner because of a sore throat and mouth. He was prescribed amoxicillin 1 g twice daily (he had received this antibiotic three months before for a throat infection). He had also been taking prednisolone (20 mg daily) and fentanyl patches (25 µg/hour) for two months, lamotrigine (50 mg daily) and clonazepam (1 mg three times daily) for five months, and paroxetine (10 mg daily) for two years. These treatments had not recently been modified. Five days later, he was admitted to the general medical ward with fever and a rapidly spreading burning skin rash that affected his face, the presternal region of his trunk, and his palms and soles. He also had painful red eyes with yellow discharge and a worsening of the inflamed ulcerations inside his mouth.
