Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Percentile efficacy of topical versus oral antifungal in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor
Data analysis will be performed using SPSS version 20. The quantitative variable (age, BMI and duration of PV) will be presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median interquartile range (IQR) after checking normality of data by using Shapiro-Wilk test. Frequency and percentages will be used for categorical variables (gender, severity of PV, area of residence, level of education and efficacy). Efficacy will be compared between groups using Chi-square or Fisher exact test. Efficacy will be stratified by age, gender, BMI, duration of PV and severity of PV to deal with effect modifiers. Post-stratification chi-square test or Fischer exact test will be used as test of significance. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
