Therapy of tinea nigra plantaris.
Four cases of tinea nigra plantaris are presented. The therapeutic approaches used by different dermatologists who treated these patients are analyzed in order to obtain a meaningful conclusion on how to best manage this infrequent entity. We conclude that the visible affected skin should be scraped off before using either ciclopiroxolamine or an imidazole topically; systemic therapy is not recommended.
