A Case of Interdigital Dermatophytosis / 대한의진균학회지

The dermatophytosis of the hands is dry, scaly, erythematous macules with well demarcation on the palms and dorsa of hands. However, involvement of fingerwebs without any other affected area of the hands is rare. We report a case of interdigital dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton (T.) rubrum in a 38-year-old man, who showed fine scaly erythematous macules on the left third fingerweb. Fungal culture from scales of the lesions showed typical white to deep red, cottony colonies of T. rubrum.
