Pentoxifylline and ciprofloxacin in chronic folliculitis of legs

D Prasad et al. Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol. 1997 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Clinically diagnosed 38 patients of chronic superficial folliculitis were divided into 2 equal grops. Group I was given combination of ciprofloxacin and placebo for two weeks followed by placebo for another 4 weeks whereas patients in group II were given combination of ciprofloxacin and pentoxifylline for two weeks followed by pentoxifylline for 4 weeks. The combination of pentoxifylline with ciprofloxacin was found to be superior in initial response as well as prevention of reccurrence.
