Erythrasma: A report of nine men successfully managed with mupirocin 2% ointment monotherapy.
Dermatology Online Journal 2017 May 16
BACKGROUND: Erythrasma is a benign dermatosis that typically occurs on intertriginous skin.
PURPOSE: We describe a series of nine men with erythrasma that were successfully treated with mupirocin 2% ointment monotherapy.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: We reviewed PubMed for the following terms: erythrasma, mupirocin, ointment, treatment. We also reviewed papers containing these terms and their references.
RESULTS: Complete resolution of erythrasma occurred following monotherapy with twice daily application of mupirocin 2% ointment.
CONCLUSIONS: Several topical and oral treatments are available to successfully manage erythrasma. Our series of patients with erythrasma experienced resolution with mupirocin 2% ointment treatment within 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. Monotherapy with mupirocin 2% ointment should be considered as a primary treatment alternative for erythrasma.
