Abstract

Among the most prevalent conditions affecting the skin are fungus infections. OTC and oral antifungal medications are used in treatment regimens. Considering the potential negative effects of oral treatment, the topical method is usually favoured. Soon, traditional products like gels, ointments, and creams may become obsolete due to advancements made in formulation. When used to treat cutaneous fungal infections, a number of carrier systems that are packed with antifungal medications have shown encouraging outcomes. These more recent carriers include liposomes, ethosomes, liposomes, Microemulsion, and lipid systems such solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers. Penetration enhancer vesicles are another example of these newer carriers. Compared to cream and ointment, gel and composition have superior stability and application qualities. Among the most prevalent dermatology issues are skin interactions resulting from fungal infections. The most effective treatment for cutaneous infections is topical medication.
