Ancient jamaican plant put to the test for stubborn skin spots

NCT ID NCT05730244

Summary

This study is testing whether a cream made from the Cassia alata plant, traditionally used in Jamaica, can safely and effectively treat tinea versicolor, a common fungal skin infection. Participants will apply the cream to one affected area twice a day for 12 weeks, while leaving other spots untreated for comparison. The goal is to see if the cream clears the infection better than no treatment and to check for any skin reactions.
