title: An open, multicentre assessment of the effectiveness of bifonazole in the treatment of tinea (pityriasis) versicolor.
abstract: One hundred and twenty-one patients with tinea (pityriasis) versicolor, confirmed by pretherapeutic clinical and mycological examination, were treated with a single daily application of bifonazole (BAY h 4502) 1% gel for 2 weeks. Weekly clinical controls were performed during the treatment period and at least two clinical and mycological post-therapeutic controls were given. Overall results were very good in 98 patients, good in 15, moderate in 7 and failure in 1 patient. Local tolerance was very good; only 1 patient presented with slight erythema and pruritus during the treatment.
