Therapy for kerlons was evaluated by randomly assigning 30 patents to one of four treatment groups: group A griseofulvin, group B grlssofulvln plus erythromycin, group C griseofulvin plus prednisone, and group D griseofulvin, erythromydn, and prednisone. Data lndicate that antibiotic and steroid therapy. In addition to grlseotulvln, may reduce scaling and pruritus, but does not reduce the time It takes for kerions to flatten.
