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

Complications

Complications that can develop as a result of dermatophytosis are:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]

Alopecia
Superimposed bacterial infections leading to cellulitis
Lymphagitis
Kerion
Bullae formation
Erythema nodosum
Baboon syndrome secondary to ketoconazole use (contact allergen-related maculopapular eruption that typically involves the flexural and gluteal areas)
Utricaria
Erythema multiforme
Disseminated infection leading to fungemia

Prognosis

Dermatophytosis is associated with an excellent prognosis and early therapy leads to successful resolution of symptoms.^[12]^[13]^[14]
