Study of the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of dermatomycosis of the scalp, nails, feet, hands, smooth skin, and inguinal dermatophytosis
Keywords:

Introduction: The increased incidence and preponderance of dermatomycosis cause the issue of determining antimycotic agents of systemic and external action to be particularly pertinent, considering the etiology, clinical form, and majority of mycoses, the sensitivity of pathogens to them, and the existence of concurrent conditions. The study aims to analyze the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of dermatomycosis of the scalp, nails, feet, hands, smooth skin, and inguinal dermatophytosis. Patients and methods: To meet the aim of the study, it is attempted to generate an algorithm for pharmaceutical counseling of patients suffering from various types of dermatomycosis. Over the span of five months, a survey was carried out of 25 visitors to the pharmacy with a diagnosis of dermatomycosis. Results: Based on the results, it was revealed that most of the visitors suffer from dermatomycosis of the feet - 10 people (40%), the second in terms of incidence is onychomycosis - 5 people (19%), the third in terms of incidence is dermatomycosis of the groin area - 4 people (15%), the fourth in the incidence is dermatomycosis of the scalp - 4 people (14%). Conclusion: To treat different types of dermatomycosis, various antifungal drugs in different dosage forms can be used. For each type of disease, a specific course of treatment is selected. The duration of the course of treatment depends on the skin lesion area, the duration of the disease, and the presence of complications.
