Abstract:
We report a case of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum(M.) gypseum and keloid while applying tinea corporis with glacial acetic acid improperly in a 59 year-old female. The lesions were manifested by 7.0x4.5 cm-sized, localized pruritic fine scaly erythematous annular patch and keloid on left antecubital fossa. Culture from the annular skin lesion of patient on Sabouraud's dextrose agar showed typical colony of M. gypseum. The patient was treated with 250 mg of terbinafine daily for 1 month and topical lanoconazole application. Keloid was improved by intralesional steroid injection.
