Tinea inguinalis treated with miconazole cream: a double-blind study.
A double-blind study on the effect of 2% miconazole cream and its vehicle was conducted on 84 men with tinea inguinalis. Relief of itching and improved clinical and mycological cure rates were noted after 14 and 28 days of treatment with miconazole in patients in whom the causal agent was Trichophyton rubrum. No conclusion about the efficacy of the active substance could be drawn in patients in whom the causal agent was some other dermatophyte or Candida.
