Eczema herpeticum (EH) has been reported in association with various skin abnormalities. We experienced a patient with tinea cruris who developed EH within a fungal infection. To our knowledge, dermatophyte infection as an underlying cutaneous disorder for EH has not been previously described in the English literature.

Lipomas are common, benign tumors originating from adipose tissues. They can occur anywhere on the body but are rarely found on the finger. We report two lipomas of the right index finger in a 46-year-old man; this is the first report of a lipoma occurring on the fingers in Korea.
