Abstract:
Superficial cutaneous fungal infections are caused by fungi infections that only invade fully keratinized tissues, such as the stratum corneum, hair, and nails.In clinical practice, tinea capitis is the most prevalent superficial cutaneous fungal infections in children, whereas the incidence of tinea corporis/cruris, tinea manuum/pedis, onychomycosis, and pityriasis versicolor is relatively low.This article aims to comprehensively discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and advancements in the treatment of superficial cutaneous fungal infections in children, focusing on each specific infection individually.
