Adapalene gel is a tretinoin derivative and has a lower incidence of irritation compared with other topical retinoid products. However, there are no reports on adapalene gel for the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; To study the effect of adapalene gel comparing the treatment with adapalene gel and 2% ketoconazole cream in pityriasis versicolor. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Eighty patients suffering from pityriasis versicolor were randomly divided into two groups; one group were treated with 2% ketoconazole cream topically twice daily for 2 weeks, adapalene gel was used for the other group in a similar fashion. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; There were no significant differences in efficacy between the two groups. No major side effects were noted in any of the groups either. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Adapalene was the favorable option in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. The probable therapeutic mechanism of adapalene is also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000338198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,3]],"date-time":"2012-05-03T08:13:38Z","timestamp":1336032818000},"page":"184-188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Roles of Adapalene in the Treatment of Pityriasis Versicolor"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"224","author":[{"given":"Tian-Wei","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Kun","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong-Xing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Bo","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.clindermatol.2003.08.003"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0190-9622%2891%2970198-B"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0190-9622%2897%2970051-3"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.1998.1390s2034.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067%2FS0190-9622%2803%2901151-4"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.1998.1390s2026.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.2002.04873.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000246178"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165%2F00128071-200001020-00001"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590%2FS0037-86822006000600017"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1439-0507.2007.01361.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ijantimicag.2006.09.016"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1439-0507.2006.01352.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F095466302317584421"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000075047"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1468-3083.2002.00378.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2133.1998.1390s2048.x"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165%2F00003495-200464130-00005"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/338198","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/338198","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:17:06Z","timestamp":1745432226000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000338198"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,31]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000338198","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
