title: Topical treatment of dermatophytoses and candidoses.
abstract: In a double-blind trial clotrimazole cream was compared with tolnaftate cream in the treatment of dermatophytoses and with nystatin cream in the treatment of candidoses. Clotrimazole was shown to be effective against both dermatophytoses and candidoses and was as effective and acceptable as tolnaftate and nystatin creams in each condition.
