Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary effectiveness is assessed based on percentage of patients achieving complete clearance. Complete clearance is defined as achieving both clinical response and mycological cure.
Clinical response is assessed using investigator global evaluation tool based on signs and symptoms which give score ranging from 1 to 5.Where score 1:Healed(absence of signs and symptoms),
score 2:markedly improved greater than 50% clinical improvement, score 3:considerable residual lesion(less than 50% clinical improvement),score 4(no change from baseline),score 5 :deterioration from baseline .Clinical response will be defined as having scores 1 or 2 (healed or markedly improved)
Mycological cure is defined by achievement of negative result on KOH mount at the end of the treatment period.
Change in Total symptom score.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Topical antifungal drugs are commonly employed in Tinea corporis/cruris.
Several tertiary centers frequently prescribe luliconazole for its broad spectrum and anti-inflammatory property. It is expensive, and relapse are documented.
There is need of antifungals with diverse modes of action, as well as those that are affordable and less risk of relapse.
Ciclopirox olamine inhibits enzymes necessary for fungal cellular activity. It has additional antibacterial properties which help treating superadded infections.
There are very few studies comparing Luliconazole and ciclopirox olamine in the treatment of Tinea corporis/cruris in India.
Hence this study is undertaken to compare Luliconazole versus ciclopirox olamine in the treatment of Tinea corporis and cruris.
