ABSTRACT
Recently, we have encountered an increasing number of patients who have obtained topical steroids to self-treat various dermatosis. Tinea incognito has been used to describe a dermatophyte infection modified by corticosteroid treatment. Lesions are often atypical appearing and the diagnosis can be delayed or missed. We report a case of tinea incognito with ill-defined erythematous patch and nodules on the right upper eyelid and taken intermittently application with corticosteroid ointment over a period of l year. Mycologic studies including KOH mount and fungus culture were positive for hyphae and colonies of Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The lesion was treated with of itraconazole and cured 3 weeks later.
