- Abstract
Tinea infections are among the most common dermatologic conditions throughout the world. Tinea corporis is superficial infection of glaborous skin caused by dermatophytes. A 60 years old male presented to the outpatient department of dermatology of tertiary health care hospital with complaints of painful pruritic multiple fluid filled lesions on face, lower abdomen, penis, buttocks, thighs and pubic region for 2 months. Direct microscopic examination of the scales removed from the borders of the lesion showed numerous thin septate fungal hyphae. Dermo-epidermal bullae with presence of inflammatory cell infiltrate comprising predominantly neutrophils along with an occasional lymphocytes and eosinophils were seen on histopathology. The case we described has some typical dermatophytic features like erythematous annular lesions with central clearing and atypical features like bullous lesions with erosions. The case is rare and hence reported.
