ABSTRACT
We report a case of tinea barbae in a 51-year-old man, who presented with erythematous pustules on the upper lip, and a relatively well-defined pustular patch on his left cheek. Histopathologically, fungal hyphae were found in the hair shaft upon PAS staining. A fungal culture from scales and tissue of the lesions was grown on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and showed typical Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The patient was treated with 250 mg of terbinafine, 10 mg of prednisolone and 300 mg of roxithromycin daily for the first week, then 250 mg of terbinafine combined with topical lanoconazole for 4 weeks. The skin lesions improved 5 weeks after treatment, and recurrence has not been observed.
