A Case of Tinea Incognito / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

We report a case of tinea incognito occurring in a 47-year-old woman who deveoped erythematous papules and scaly patches on whole body after taking corticosteroid therapy intermittently over a period of 3 months. Direct smear and culture for fungus of the lesions demonstrated hyphae and C. albicans and T. mentagrophytes, which confirms the diagnosis. The lesions disappeared three months after systemic and topical antifungal therapy.
