BACKGROUNDThe knowledge of common dermatosis will be useful for adequate treatment and care of the patients. AIMThe aim of the study is to determine the clinical pattern and comparison of topical 2% clotrimazole cream vs. 2% fusidic acid cream in the treatment of Erythrasma in our medical college. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis was a hospital-based prospective study conducted for 1 year in our medical college situated in South India. RESULTSGroin was the most common site with itching and discoloration being predominant symptoms. It was most common among females. Comorbidities associated were Diabetes mellitus and Hypothyroidism; 2% fusidic acid cream was found to be superior to 2% clotrimazole in the treatment of Erythrasma. CONCLUSIONSOur data correlates with previous hospital-based studies of Erythrasma.

Erythrasma is a bacterial infection of the skin typically caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum. This pathogen infects the stratum corneum in warm and wet areas of the skin. Most commonly, the axillary, inguinal, and interdigital regions are affected. A 60-year-old man presented for the examination of a pedunculated lesion on his right proximal thigh. Upon examination of the lesion, adjacent areas of central hypopigmentation and peripheral hyperpigmented scaling were also noted bilaterally in the groin region. Differential diagnoses of candidiasis, dermatophyte infection, erythrasma, pityriasis versicolor, and terra firma-forme dermatosis were considered. Wood lamp examination revealed bright coral-pink fluorescence. Correlation of the clinical examination and the Wood lamp finding established the diagnosis of erythrasma. Twice daily topical 2% mupirocin ointment therapy led to the resolution of our patient’s erythrasma. In this case report, the diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and treatment of erythrasma are reviewed.

Пиодермии-наиболее частая причина обращения детского населения к дерматологам. Устойчивость к развитию пиодермий обусловлена кожным барьером, компонентом которого является кожная микрофлора. Состав микрофлоры кожи человека уникален и зависит от возраста, локализации на различных участках тела, условий окружающей среды. Изменение его качественного и количественного состава предрасполагает к развитию гнойничковых заболеваний кожи, отличающихся клиническим разнообразием, а при неадекватном лечении или его отсутствии-тяжелым течением и развитием осложнений. В этой связи актуальным остается выбор правильной терапии заболевания. В статье проанализированы результаты исследований, в которых изучалась эффективность различных топических антибактериальных средств. Освещены практические аспекты терапии пиодермий у детей с использованием средств для местной терапии.
