This ramdomized, double blind study compared the combination of clorrimazol 1 percent and betamethason 1 percent cream (preparation II). A total of 98 patients with candidosis cutis were entered into this study and randomly assigned into 2 groups, each group was given either preparation I or II for 14 days. The results showed that preparation I had the advantage in decreasing the clinical score compared to preparation II, even though the difference was not statistically significant.
