Zusammenfassung
Tinea corporis is a superficial infection caused by dermatophytes. It is the second most common tinea in childhood after the ringworm of the scalp. It may spread and cause distant lesions if not treated on time. Pets are usually on the origin of the infection. Topical treatment is sufficient except when multiple lesions appear or in case of involvement of hairy areas. In those circumstances, oral treatment is appropiate. Griseofulvin and terbinafine are the most commonly used systemic treatments.
