Innovative treatment methods for skin fungal infections in community
Worldwide, fungus infections of the skin, hair, and nails are a common cause of public health issues. They are, however,infrequently managed, according to a population-based survey. Skin fungi infections are projected to affect 20%–25% ofpeople worldwide, and their incidence is rising. They make up 10%–20% of all dermatologic conditions. The goal of thisstudy was to create and assess a novel multi-ethosome (ME) system for the topical delivery of terbinafine hydrochloride (TH)as a fresh method for treating fungus infections. Cinnamaldehyde was effectively used as a penetration enhancer to createTH-loaded MEs. The two-step process of photodynamic treatment (PDT) involves the topical or systemic delivery of aphotosensitizer followed by the selective lighting of the target lesion with visible light, which causes oxidative photodamageand eventual cell death inside the target area.
