Indian dermatological experts’ opinion on clotrimazole dusting powder in superficial fungal infection

Dermatophytosis is among the most common skin infections in India and continues to pose a major therapeutic challenge because of increasing chronicity, recurrence, and partial treatment response. Recent years have witnessed significant epidemiological and mycological changes, including the emergence of multidrug-resistant T. mentagrophytes/T. interdigitale complex. In addition to pathogen-related factors, excessive sweating, humidity, occlusion, and skin maceration contribute substantially to persistence and relapse by creating an environment favourable for fungal growth.
