ABSTRACT
Superficial dermatophytic infections are considered to be mild superficial epidermal infection. Most organisms are located superficially in stratum corneum. Sometimes, they may involve the hair follicles, producing papule, pustule, or nodule, characterized clinically as kerion. It usually occurs on scalp or beard area but may occur elsewhere on the body. We report a case of kerion on glabrous skin. The patient presented with intense, boggy mass with suppurations on left thigh. On mycologic examination, Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated. We report this atypical form of localized inflammatory infection caused by tinea.
