ABSTRACT
Superficial fungal infections are most common worldwide and widespread in the developing countries. All people are not equally susceptible to fungal infection, even when they have similar risk factors. The pathogenesis of dermatophyte infection involves complex interaction between the host, agent and the environment. Despite the increasing prevalence of cutaneous dermatophytosis across the world, research in this area has often been neglected. A female patient of 65years of age presented with complaint of ‘Ringworm’ over the gluteal region since one year. She was on allopathic treatment for a long time with episode of relapses. Homoeopathic medicine was given on the basis of totality of symptoms which restored the patient back to health. This case proves the efficacy of individualized constitutional homoeopathic treatment for the cure of Tinea Cruris along with the importance of concept of miasm in skin diseases.
