Summary

Mycosis is defined as a fungal infection caused by the implantation of etiological agents that compromises the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, being the main cause of superficial mycoses and constituting an important public health problem.

The production or development of infections is due in any case to the loss of ability to protect the exterior of the skin epidermis and, in the case of nails, to the fact that the nail apparatus does not have cell-mediated immunity effective, thus being more susceptible to infection than other parts of the skin. Although these infections can be bacterial, fungal, or viral, the investigators will focus on fungal infections.

There are numerous studies that suggest the suitability of EOs as an alternative treatment for fungal infections.

Due to this, in this project the investigators will analyze one of the most important infections within the podiatric health of the population, in terms of its incidence, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, etc., and for this our research will be focused on examining whether there is improvements in the skin of patients with dermatophytosis treated with cream enriched with natural oils, in our case tea tree oil, verified by ultrasound.
