    TLDR The kitten's skin condition improved significantly after 4 weeks of treatment.
    A 2-month-old local male kitten with dermatophytosis caused by Trychophyton spp. was treated with Ketoconazole cream 2% twice daily for 4 weeks, fish oil once daily for 14 days, multivitamin syrup for 7 days, and sulfur soap weekly. The kitten showed significant improvement after 4 weeks, with the disappearance of scales and regrowth of hair around the lesions. The study suggests cleaning lesions before applying topical treatments and exposing the animal to sunlight for better healing.
