Recurrent refractory candidal balanoposthitis on treatment with the antidiabetic agent: sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2 inhibitor) (EADV 2024) - "He was treated with oral Itraconazole 200 mg once daily and topical 1% Clotrimazole cream...Teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets were discontinued because the penile symptoms did not improve in spite of long-term antifungal therapies... SGLT2 inhibitors are prescribed more frequently in DM because of their effect on weight loss, a reduction in blood pressure, and favorable cardiovascular outcomes. However, they have a higher risk of genital mycotic infections compared with other hypoglycemic agents. Although topical therapy is usually sufficient in most cases of candidal balanoposthitis, it sometimes becomes incurable without the withdrawal of SGLT2 inhibitors like in our case."

Lichenoid drug eruption in children (EADV 2024) - "Before presenting to our facility, he sought medical treatment at a local facility where he initially received topical clotrimazole cream, with no relief. A week later lesions were progressing and subsequently, he received ceftriaxone, metronidazole, paracetamol and cetirizine, he reported improvement in pruritus but no regression in the lesions...The patient was started on topical clobetasol ointment 0.05% for the body and betamethasone ointment 0.1% for the face... In our setting, diagnosis of Lichenoid drug eruption can be challenging due to the limited number of dermatologists in the country, especially in rural areas, where patients are seen by clinical officers with little knowledge in dermatological conditions. Hence medical personnel at primary health care level need to be able to take a comprehensive clinical, medical, and drug history as well as physical examination to aid in distinguishing lichenoid drug eruption from other papulosquamous disorders, even when..."

However, in the biomedical field, the re-emerging investigation attention is due to the statements of a number of mechanisms defending the use of acidifying agents to treat mycosis (of antifungal-resistant species)."

Tioconazole-Loaded Transethosomal Gel Using Box-Behnken Design for Topical Applications: In Vitro, In Vivo, and Molecular Docking Approaches. (PubMed, Gels) - "The in vivo antifungal study on albino rats indicated that TCZ-loaded transethosomal gel showed a comparable therapeutic effect in comparison to the market brand Canesten. Molecular docking demonstrated that the TCZ in the TE composition was surrounded by hydrophobic excipients with increased overall hydrophobicity and better permeation. Therefore, TCZ in the form of transethosomal gel can serve as an effective drug delivery system, having the ability to penetrate the skin and overcome the stratum corneum barrier with improved efficacy."
