However, to the contrary, Indian reports have shown a higher prevalence of genital dermatophytosis due to warm and humid climate, overcrowding and lack of hygiene. A review is presented for 24 cases of male genital dermatophytosis occurring in patients suffering from tinea cruris in India who have been randomly applying various broad\u2010spectrum steroid antifungal and antibacterial creams containing one or more antifungal and antibiotic in addition to potent corticosteroids, mainly clobetasol propionate. This is such a common phenomenon that Indian dermatologists are witnessing an epidemic of sorts of steroid\u2010modified dermatophytosis and we hereby share various clinical presentations of dermatophytosis of penis and\/or scrotum in patients with tinea cruris who have been applying the above\u2010mentioned creams. The review also discusses the bleak scenario that prevails in India regarding the drug regulatory affairs that allow such dangerous and irrational combinations that are sold over the counter because of misinterpretation of the law and lax implementation of existing laws.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.12503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,30]],"date-time":"2016-03-30T20:09:13Z","timestamp":1459368553000},"page":"606-614","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Male
