NCT ID NCT07718685
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two common antifungal creams — oxiconazole 1% and clotrimazole 1% — to see which works better for treating dermatophytosis, a fungal skin infection often called ringworm. About 164 adults with mild to moderate infections will apply one of the creams daily. The goal is to find out which cream clears the rash, itching, and scaling more completely.
