Abstract

Tinea barbae is a dermatophyte infection of the bearded areas of the face and neck. The incidence of tinea barbae has decreased as improved sanitation. We report a case of tinea barbae in a 58-year-old-man, who presented with relatively well-defined erythematous pustular plaque on the upper lip. A fungal culture from tissue of the lesions was grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar and showed typical Trichophyton verrucosum. The nucleotide sequence of internal transcribed spacer for clinical isolate was identical to that of Trichophyton verrucosum strain ATCC 10695. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole for 3 months. The skin lesions improved 3 months after treatment, and recurrence has not been observed.
