Article Synopsis
- Pityriasis versicolor is a common fungal skin infection, typically treated with keratolytic agents, which are cheap and available over-the-counter, while conventional antifungals are pricier and require prescriptions.
- The goal of this study was to systematically review and compare the safety and effectiveness of these antifungal treatments against keratolytic agents for managing pityriasis versicolor.
- The review included data from 8 randomized controlled trials with 617 participants, using statistical analysis to evaluate the outcomes, although publication bias could not be assessed due to the limited number of studies.
