Abstract

Here we report a case about Tinea Corporis that had unusual presentation in an 18-year-old female without any underlying chronic skin disorders. The patient was treated with antifungal medication, oral and topical, and was followed up for 6 months.

Background: Tinea corporis is a common fungal infection that mimics many other annular lesions, and it is commonly misdiagnosed. Primary care Physicians must familiarize themselves with this condition and its treatment.

Keywords: Dermatophyte, Epidermophyton, onychomycosis, Micros Porum, Trichophyton,
antifungal drugs.
