Treatment of erythrasma with miconazole

Abstract
Summary: Miconazole cream was compared with Whitfield's Ointment in a single blind trial for the treatment of erythrasma amongst patients in a hospital for the mentally subnormal. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the preparations when applied twice daily; more than 90% of all sites were cleared, although miconazole cream was much less irritating than Whitfield's Ointment.
