Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Waiting for a proof by mycological culture is usually necessary before starting a systemic antifungal therapy. It therefore seems to us interesting to evaluate the benefit of using dermoscopy in clinical diagnosis of Tinea Capitis.
