Abstract
in recent years, the Russian Federation has seen an increase in the incidence of superficial mycoses of the skin, a change in the nature of the disease course and spectrum of its pathogens. At the same time, the imperfection of the nosological classification and nomenclature of pathogens is noted. Besides there is a deficit of modern methods for diagnosing and treating mycoses of the skin and cutaneous appendage. These facts determine the current need to update clinical guidelines and create guidelines for onychomycosis, scalp mycoses and skin mycoses. Currently, one of the most important problems in the treatment of skin mycoses is the development of resistance to antimycotics. In this regard, it is necessary to use drugs that reduce the risk of resistance. Amorolfine, as a morpholine, acts on two different enzymes (sterol Δ14 reductase and sterol Δ7-Δ8 isomerase) and is a possible therapeutic option for overcoming antifungal resistance. It has a favorable safety profile and efficacy similar to other classes of antifungal agents. In this regard, it seems appropriate to include amorolfine in cream form in national clinical guidelines for the treatment of superficial cutaneous mycosis.
