Brief Summary   Dermatophytes are known to cause superficial mycosis in animals and humans owing to their ability to destroy keratin present in skin, hair and nails leading to the development of dermatophytosis. One of the dermatophytosis is ringworm (Tinea corporis) infection which is known to affect approximately 20-25% of the global population. These infections are common in the tropics due to high levels of humidity, overpopulation and poor hygiene.
The global prevalence of dermatophytosis is estimated to be 20%. The prevalence of dermatophytes has increased tremendously in the last few decades due to various factors like climate change, socio-economic and occupational situations.
It has been observed recently that there has been widespread resistance to various antifungal agents used in conventional doses with an increase in relapse rates prompting a need to find effective first-line antifungal drugs and appropriate dosages and drug schedules to achieve maximum results with fewer relapses. The most common side effects of antifungal drugs are gastric upset, headache, altered taste, altered liver function tests and rash, even cause blood dyscrasias and hepatitis.
Likewise, long-term use of steroid creams can make ringworm worse by allowing them to spread along making the immune system weak and in some rare cases, it allows the fungus that causes ringworm to invade deeper into the skin and cause the more serious condition.
In the Unani system of medicine, several formulations are indicated for the management of tinea corporis(Qooba )and all such formulations are tested for centuries and data on their effectiveness is available. So the present study has been designed to validate the effectiveness of some of the formulations on scientific rationale.
