Abstract |
Thirty patients suffering from Pityriasis versicolor were treated with fenticonazole in cream or lotion form with two applications a day. At microscopy, Malassezia furfur was encountered in 25 cases and Pityrosporum orbiculare in 5. Disappearance of the yeast was obtained on average in 2 weeks of treatment. Measurement of sebum content with a Sebumeter apparatus did not reveal significant difference (p greater than 0.05) between patients suffering from Pityriasis versicolor and controls and in treated patients, in the course of topical therapy.
