Abstract
Dermatophytosis is a common dermatological problem encountered in Dermatology outpatient department. It was described as “Bread and Butter of dermatologist”. A decade earlier patients were coming for the treatment of Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis to a Dermatologist, and a course of antifungal agents were bringing smile and satisfaction to the patient. Today even after the completion of a course of antifungal agents, patients are not satisfied, and are coming with persistence of lesions and new lesions. Hence a doubt has emerged, whether the Dermatophytes have developed resistance to antifungal agents.
