Abstract
Dermatophytes are capable of infecting the skin and its appendages such as nails and hairs producing a variety of clinical conditions. Hair invasion by dermatophytes is a key feature of tinea capitis and tinea barbae but not of tinea of glabrous skin. Follicular involvement of glabrous skin is a rare entity resisting to topical treatment and should be considered for systemic antifungal treatments. We report a new observation of Tinea Folliculorom of the forearm revealing a familial ringworm.
