Dermatophytosis is an infection of hair, skin and nails by a group of dermatophytes. Most cases are treated mainly locally with topical antifungals. Dermatophytosis of the head is more persistent and requires oral antifungals under medical supervision in addition to topical antifungals. Unfortunately, most patients do not have good treatment results.
Symptoms
Rash
Scaling
Itching
According to Chinese medicine, this disease is usually caused by the trapping of dampness and heat in the skin, fumigation of the skin and reinfection with fungi. The main treatment is to remove dampness and heat, detoxify and kill the pathogens.
We use acupuncture, moxibustion and topical application of Chinese herbs to treat the affected areas with remarkable effect. Most symptoms improve significantly within 3 to 4 weeks and symptoms disappear after about 3 months. Consolidation therapy lasts 1 to 2 months.
