Treatment usually involves antifungal medications, which can be topical or oral depending on the severity and location of the infection: - Topical Antifungals: These are often used for mild, localized infections. Common agents include clotrimazole, miconazole, and terbinafine. - Oral Antifungals: More severe or widespread infections, such as tinea capitis, often require oral medications like griseofulvin or terbinafine.
