    TLDR Experts created guidelines to better diagnose and treat uncommon fungal skin infections.
    The document discusses the increasing clinical attention on uncommon dermatophytoses, which include infections in special populations and anatomical sites, as well as those caused by uncommon or drug-resistant dermatophytes. These conditions often present unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to their distinct characteristics and lack of standardized protocols. To address these issues, a panel of experts from the Mycology Group of the Chinese Dermatovenerology Society and the Infection Group of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association developed a consensus to provide scientific and standardized guidance for clinical practice, focusing on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of these uncommon dermatophytoses.
