Though diagnosing TC is straightforward, treatment has become challenging due to the use of certain medications and lack of follow\u2010up, leading to resistance. Andrea et\u00a0al. proposed Tinea Corporis Score (TCS) to assess and provide follow\u2010up care for TC. However, double tracing was its limitation. We proposed modified Tinea Corporis Score (mTCS) to overcome this limitation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims and Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To compare mTCS with TCS and validate it.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title><jats:p>A comparative, noninterventional validation study was conducted over 18\u2009months at the Department of Dermatology, JSS Hospital, JSSAHER. 140 out of the initially enrolled 182 patients were included.

The total scores calculated also showed a significant difference in mean during baseline (mTCS&lt;TCS) and second follow\u2010up (mTCS&gt;TCS) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Both methods showed a positive correlation. However, mTCS was found to be less time\u2010consuming (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) than TCS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both mTCS and TCS had a positive correlation and were found to be equally effective. However, mTCS took significantly less time, while overcoming tracing errors by measuring direct capture of preset grid images suggesting it to be a better alternative. These findings validate mTCS over TCS for better and faster evaluation of TC for good follow\u2010up care and patient\u2010tailored treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.70018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,4]],"date-time":"2025-01-04T03:19:46Z","timestamp":1735960786000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Modified Tinea Corporis Score (mTCS) Versus Tinea Corporis Score (TCS): A Comparative, Noninterventional Validation Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Sajahan","family":"Nihaa\u2010Jabeen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Papishetty","family":"Prathyusha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Santhebachalli Gurumurthy","family":"Chethana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Padubidri Kombettu","family":"Ashwini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shankar Bharathi","family":"Ashwini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shastry","family":"Veeranna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8278-714X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Garehatty Rudrappa","family":"Kanthraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, JSS Medical College and Hospital JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER) (Deemed to Be University)  Mysuru Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.12245"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","first-page":"269","article-title":"Misdiagnosed Zoophile Tinea Faciei and Tinea Corporis Effectively Treated With Isoconazole Nitrate and Diflucortolone Valerate Combination Therapy","volume":"56","author":"Czaika V.
