|
We report a case of tinea corporis arising in previous burn area which shows tinea imbricata-like clinical appearance in a 69-year-old male. He showed round, 5.0×5.0 cm sized, fine scaly, well-defined erythematous patch with concentrically arranged rings of scales on the right forearm. Histopathologically, PAS staining revealed fungal hyphae in the horney layer of the epidermis. Fungal culture of scales of the lesions on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar showed typical Trichophyton verrucosum. He was treated with oral terbinafine (250 mg/day) and topical lanoconazole for 1 month. Skin lesions improved one month after the treatment, and recurrence has not been observed.
