This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This case report describes a successful treatment of scalp hair white piedra caused by T. ovoides with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole, using a combination of clinical, trichoscopic, microbiologic, and molecular methods for diagnosis.

This study concluded that topical ketoconazole is effective and safe for treating superficial fungal infections and has potential for new dermatologic uses despite concerns over oral administration's adverse effects.

This review discusses the diagnosis and characteristics of dermatophyte infections and offers no new research findings, emphasizing the importance of microscopy and culture for accurate identification before treatment.

In this veterinary case report, a mixed breed dog with Malassezia dermatitis showed significant improvement and hair regrowth after 28 days of treatment with ketoconazole and other supportive therapies.
