Abstract(s)
A two year-old girl presented with an erythematous scaly
patch on the right axilla that had grown centrifugally over the past
three months. She had atopic eczema, for which she applied
topical corticosteroids during flares. Her mother had a similar lesion
on the abdominal wall, and both of them were applying the
same topical steroid. Microscopic evaluation and culture of both
skin samples confi rmed the clinical suspicion of tinea incognito.
The clinical features, diagnostic procedures and treatment of this
pathological entity are discussed.
