Antifungal and heat therapy for sporotrichosis
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing two treatments—antifungal medicine and a special heat lamp (infrared)—separately or together for sporotrichosis, a skin fungus. The goal is to find what works best with fewer side effects.
