Dermatophytosis constitute a group of superficial fungal infection of keratinized tissue that is skin, hair and nail. These fungi are among the commonest infectious agents, and no geographic areas are without "ringworm". About 200 clinically diagnosed cases were included for the study. A detailed history was noted regarding age, sex, socioeconomic status, duration of illness and duration of treatment. Highest incidence was seen in the age group of 21-30 years, with 44 cases (22%). There was a male preponderance with 141 cases (70.5%). Dermatophytosis was common in low socioeconomic status 156 cases (78%).Keywords
