AI Article Synopsis
- A novel observation highlights chronic eczema developing on skin lesions of tinea cruris/tinea corporis in six atopic individuals who were adequately treated.
- It is recommended that skin with dermatophytosis in atopic patients be closely monitored for any secondary changes even after the lesions have healed.
- The study encourages the use of mild moisturizers and topical antifungal treatments, and suggests further research on the impaired skin barrier in atopic individuals with fungal infections.
Article Abstract
A novel observation of chronic eczema developing over the skin of adequately treated lesions of tinea cruris/tinea corporis in six atopic individuals is being shared. We propose that the skin of atopic individuals affected by dermatophytosis be observed for secondary changes even after the complete resolution of the lesions. The use of bland emollients with topical antifungal agents should be encouraged in atopic patients. The extent and duration of the compromised epidermal barrier function of the skin of atopic individuals with dermatophytosis need to be studied further.
