“…Most lesions show a fine desquamation although this may be minimal or absent, especially after initial treatment with topical steroids (tinea incognito).

Dermatofitosis are cutaneous infections caused by fungus. They affect the keratinized surface layers epidermis, hair and nails. We report a case of a 42-year-old female patient who presented with erythematous annular lesions with a raised edge on the chest, back, neck, hands and arms. These lesions were compatible with erythema multiforme, subacute lupus and/or ringworm infection. The biopsy of lesions was done and the study showed the structures suggestive of fungi in hematoxylin-eosin staining. They were confirmed by PAS staining, starting antifungal treatment for 4 weeks with complete resolution of lesions.
