Tinea manus is a superficial fungal infection caused by skin fungi invading hand skin, which belongs to fungal infection and needs antifungal treatment first. According to the size and severity of tinea manuum, choose an antifungal scheme for external use or oral use. Generally, topical drugs are the first choice for tinea manuum with relatively small area and great limitations. There are many kinds of drugs for external use, such as bifonazole ointment, ciclopirox amine, miconazole nitrate, amo Lu Fen and so on. These antifungal preparations can achieve a good purpose of treating tinea manuum after application.
However, the course of treatment is usually recommended for external use for 2-4 weeks, and the rash all subsides. After the symptoms improve, it takes 1-2 weeks to achieve clinical cure. If it is stubborn tinea manus, the effect of external use alone is not good. At this time, there are mainly two kinds of oral antifungal drugs, the first is terbinafine and the second is itraconazole. These two kinds of drugs have different indications and contraindications, as well as different doses and courses of treatment. You must make a reasonable choice under the guidance of a doctor.
