Miconazole (Topical) About Miconazole This belongs to the group of medicines known as antifungals. It is used to treat tinea (fungal) infections of the skin and nails. Tinea infections are also sometimes known as ringworm. Tinea infections may be caught from another person, from an animal, from soil, from the floors of showers, or from household objects, such as chairs or carpets. The word tinea is sometimes followed by the Latin term for the affected part of the body e.g. tinea pedis (feet), tinea cruris (groin), tinea corporis (body) and tinea manuum (hands). The appearance and symptoms of tinea vary according to the site. The most common type is tinea pedis, also called athlete's foot, which causes cracking and itching between the toes. Tinea corporis is characterised by itchy patches on the body that are usually circular with a prominent edge. Tinea cruris (also commonly called jock itch) produces a reddened, itchy area spreading from the genitals outwards over the inside of the thigh. This form of tinea is more common in males. Miconazole can also be used to treat vaginal thrush.

Harmon, MD; Aaron Rubin, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 32 - NO. 10 - OCTOBER 2004 S ports that require skin-to-skin contact between competitors, such as wrestling, create environments where infections can spread. Skin screening checks are made before any wrestling competition, but this usually doesn't happen with other sports. Two of the most common skin infections are herpes gladiatorum (caused by the same virus that causes cold sores) and tinea gladiatorum, also known as ringworm (caused by a fungus). These skin infections can spread rapidly among teammates, coaches, and opponents, so it is very important to treat the infection as soon as it is discovered. Athletes who have active skin infections can be disqualified from competition and withheld from practice. Q. How do I know it's not just an ordinary rash? A.

Prevention Tinea capitis Definition: Tinea capitis is an infection of the scalp by mold-like fungi called dermatophytes. Alternative Names: Fungal infection - scalp; Infection - fungal - scalp; Tinea of the scalp; Ringworm - scalp Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The body normally hosts a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, mold-like fungi (dermatophytes) and yeast-like fungi (such as Candida). Some of these are useful to the body. Others may multiply rapidly and cause symptoms. Tinea capitis (also called ringworm of the scalp) is a skin disorder that affects children almost exclusively. It can be persistent and contagious, almost to the point of epidemic; however, it often disappears spontaneously at puberty. The fungi that cause tinea infections thrive in warm, moist areas. Susceptibility to tinea infection is increased by poor hygiene, prolonged wetness of the skin (such as from sweating), and minor skin or scalp injuries. Tinea infections are contagious and may be passed by direct contact with affected individuals or by contaminated items such as combs, hats, clothing, or similar surfaces. They can be transmitted by contact with pets that carry the fungus, for instance, cats.

Yoga Traditional Western Medical Diagnosis and Treatment of Ringworm Tinea Infections - Elizabeth K. Stanford, MD About 10-20 percent of persons acquire a dermatophyte infection during their lifetime. Dermatophyte infections are classified according to the affected body site, such as tinea capitis (scalp), tinea barbae (beard area), tinea corporis (skin other than bearded area, scalp, groin, hands or feet), tinea cruris (groin, perineum and perineal areas), tinea pedis (feet), tinea manuum (hands) and tinea unguium (nails). Diagnosis Microscopy. Material is scraped from an active area of the lesion, placed in a drop of potassium hydroxide solution, and examined under a microscope. Microscopy is positive if hyphae are identified in fungal infections and if pseudohyphae or yeast forms are seen in Candida or Pityrosporum infections. A positive examination is sufficient to warrant starting treatment. Cultures are not routinely performed in suspected tinea infections. However, cultures should be obtained when long-term oral drug therapy is being considered, the patient has a recalcitrant infection, or the diagnosis is in doubt.

BROWSE FOR HEALTH INFORMATION BY TOPIC: HEART CANCER WOMEN MEN ... ALL TOPICS A - Z Tinea: Ringworm, Jock Itch, and Athlete's Foot Ringworm Tinea capis is usually called ringworm, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Like most tinea infections, as it grows it spreads out in a circle leaving normal looking skin in between. That makes it look like a ring. At the edge, the skin will be red, raised and scaly. Some people think it looks like a worm under the skin and that's where the name "ringworm" comes from. There is no worm under the skin, though. Instead it is a fungus growing on the skin. If it's in the scalp, the hair can be destroyed, leaving bald patches. Jock Itch Tinea cruris is commonly referred to as jock itch according to AAFP. The fungus grows in the warm, moist area around the groin. It generally occurs in men and particularly in athletes because of the sweating they do. Athlete's Foot Tinea pedis is the term for athlete's foot. Once again it's a fungal infection, this time of the feet. It usually shows up as redness and scaling between the toes. The fungus grows in the warm moist atmosphere when feet aren't dried off or when they get very sweaty. You can pick up the fungus in the locker room but it's harder than you think and you can avoid it by drying your feet well. The fungus can also infect the toenails. Treatments Most tinea infections can be treated with a topical cream. Sometimes however oral medications will be needed. Treatment can last for months to fully get rid of the infection. No one is sure why people get tinea versicolor; however with other tinea infections, the best defense is a good offense.
