title: Effect of topical miconazole in plaque psoriasis.
abstract: The aim of this study was the assessment of efficacy and tolerance of topical miconazole in plaque psoriasis. 9 patients aged 23-63 years with diagnosis of plaque psoriasis were enrolled. 2% miconazole cream was applied twice daily from 7 to 12 weeks (under occlusive dressing to obtain optimal penetration of the drug) in the plaque with a minimum diameter of 5 cm.
