ABSTRACT: The term "ringworm fungi" refers to a class of filamentous fungi known as dermatophytes. They infect keratinized
tissues and cause largely superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails. They are among the most widespread contributors to
skin conditions worldwide, while the true frequency is probably understated. In Unani System of Medicine this is called Qūbā.
The equivalent English term of Qūbā is ringworm or dermatophytosis. Initially, it appears as a small kerion or any dot like spot,
and further it progresses in a circumscribed shape, and acquires a large area by spreading over skin surfaces. This presentation
appears particularly over a smooth skin surface. Unani physicians had classified the illness in terms of humours, Mizāj, and the
causative agent. The modern therapeutic approaches consist of, oral and topical antifungal drugs such as itraconazole,
fluconazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, and clotrimazole on the basis of various degree of the resistance and certain
side effects such as erythema, itching, dryness, irritation and urticaria, nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort, etc. In Unani
medicine the line of treatment is based on Ilāj-bi’l Did. Firstly, made the diagnosis according to the classification then choose the
way of treatment, i.e. ‘Ilāj bi’l Ghidhā’ (dieto-therapy), ‘Ilāj bi’l Dawā’ (pharmacotherapy) and ‘Ilāj bi’l Tadbīr (Regimenal
therapy).
