How to treat tinea manuum
Treatment for tinea manuum typically involves the use of antifungal medications. For mild cases, over-the-counter topical antifungals such as miconazole or clotrimazole are effective. If the infection is severe or does not respond to topical treatments, oral antifungals like terbinafine or itraconazole may be prescribed. Medical professionals advise completing the full course of treatment as directed, even if symptoms appear to resolve, to prevent recurrence. In cases where the infection involves the nails or is widespread, oral medications are often necessary.
