Abstract

Superficial fungal infections are one of the most common skin infection infections. It is caused by fungal pathogens and is limited to the outer layer of the skin, hair, and nails. Superficial fungal infections include dermatophytosis, superficial candidiasis, and diseases caused by Malassezia spp. Most physicians diagnose and treat superficial fungal infections based solely on clinical appearance. But unfortunately, there are many other infectious and non-infectious diseases with a similar clinical appearance. Dermoscopy is a practical and noninvasive imaging method that allows magnifying clinical surface images that are normally invisible under a magnifying lens. In diagnosing superficial mycosis, dermoscopy was more sensitive and specificity than potassium chloride (KOH) and fungal culture. More understanding is needed about the use of dermoscopy in diagnosing superficial fungal infections in the hope of providing an overview of superficial fungal infections and dermoscopy, as well as dermoscopy features in some superficial fungal infections. This article describes dermoscopic findings in various superficial fungal infections on the skin, hair, and nails.

Abstract

Wound healing is a complex, natural biological, and dynamic process or loss of cellular structures, tissue layers, and replacing damaged tissue. Molecular responses, cellular components, and humoral components are healing process that occurs in hemostasis, including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. In order to achieve good healing, these four steps must be performed in the right order and at the right time. In recent years, research has shown that simvastatin has pleiotropic properties that have been linked to improved wound healing in experimental animals and humans. However, higher-quality and evidence-based research is needed to determine the duration of treatment, the best method of administration, the correct dose, and to relate the pleiotropic properties of simvastatin to its potential therapeutic.
