Considerations for a Dermatology Referral
Indications to consider a dermatology referral include negative microscopy with an unclear diagnosis, extensive and severe infection, and treatment failure in the primary care setting. Referral should also be considered when oral antifungal therapy is being contemplated in children <12 years old, in immunocompromised patients, and when long-term antifungal prophylaxis is being considered.
