What Is the Treatment for Tinea Manuum?
Tinea manuum is a dermatophyte fungal infection of the hand. First-line management centres on topical antifungal therapy, with agent selection guided by the clinical picture.
Treatment Approach
First-line treatment involves an inexpensive topical antifungal cream — such as terbinafine cream. The complete agent options, application guidance, and criteria for escalation to oral therapy are detailed in the full structured protocol.
References
Tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis generally respond to inexpensive topical agents such as terbinafine cream or butenafine cream, but oral antifungal agents may be indicated for extensive disease, failed topical treatment, immunocompromised patients, or severe moccasin-type tinea pedis.
