Acupuncture treatment for tinea pedis of the foot in a Korean military hospital: a case report
Tinea pedis is a common infectious skin disease in military personnel and is the second most common skin problem in the Korean military.1 Recent management guidelines for tinea pedis suggest the use of antifungal agents and topical antibiotics, which have rarely been reported to induce liver injury and cutaneous adverse events.2 Patients experiencing such reactions may require other treatment options for tinea pedis. Acupuncture treatment has been found to have therapeutic effects on skin diseases such as burns, chilblains, atopic dermatitis and scars.3 In military medicine, acupuncture treatment has been predominantly used for musculoskeletal diseases such as sports injuries, but there are few studies of acupuncture treatment for skin diseases, including tinea pedis, in the field of military medicine. Herein, we report the case of a young Korean army member presenting with persistent pruritus diagnosed as tinea pedis. Case presentation
