Abstract
Superficial mycoses are characterized by the infection of keratinized tissues such as the epidermis, hair, and nails. A 52-year-old woman from Hainan Province, China is reported in this study. The patient presents with large erythematous scales on her head, face, and disfigured nails over a 2-year period. The fungal infection was further aggravated by the patient's 10-year history of SLE and long-term immunosuppressive drug therapy. Ultimately, Fungal microscopy and culture results were consistent with superficial mycosis. After 6 months of treatment with terbinafine and itraconazole, the patient's rash subsided, and fungal microscopy was negative. There was no recurrence after six months of follow-up.
期刊介绍：
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
