Question:

Why is griseofluvin or smilar agents used in dermatophte infections involving hair. topical r noneffective?


Answers:

When you have a fungal infection of the "hair"it is actually in the scalp and hair follicle. Putting a topical antifungal cream on the hair- will not allow it to kill all the organisms in the scalp so one needs to take an oral antifungal medicine like Griseofulvin to kill the fungus from "the inside out".
Hope this is helpful
