ABSTRACT
We report a case of rosacea-like tinea faciei in a 62-year-old female. The lesions were manifested by 2.0x2.0 cm and 2.0x2.0 cm-sized, two, pruritic, well-demarcated, erythematous macules on the nose and left ala nasi. Histopathologic examination of the skin lesion showed chronic dermal inflammation with presence of fungal hyphae in the honey layer of the epidermis. Fungal culture of the biopsy specimen grew out typical white cottony colonies of Trichophyton rubrum. The patient was treated with 250 mg of terbinafine daily for 1 month and topical lanoconazole application. Skin lesions improved one month after the treatment, and recurrence has not been observed.
