Tinea capitis and tinea pedis refer to the same disease; tinea capitis is the medically standardized name for the disease and tinea pedis is the popular name for it; they are both caused by dermatophytes invading the skin keratin in the palm and toe areas. There are three specific clinical types of tinea pedis, including impregnated vesicles, papular blisters, and keratosis scales, which occur in the palm area and are generally more common with dry, flaky skin. For the treatment of tinea pedis, topical antifungal medications, such as naftifine ketoconazole cream, terbinafine cream, and luliconazole cream, are mainly applied, and oral antifungal medications, like terbinafine or itraconazole, can be taken when necessary to improve the cure rate.
