Tinea Incognito.

Abstract

Tinea incognito (TI), or incognita, are superficial fungal dermatophyte infections that are changed in shape, most frequently because of topical, systemic steroids use and other immunosuppressants. There are different clinical presentations depending on host factors and the species of dermatophyte causing the disorder. Diagnosis can be challenging and might need combined methods. Once diagnosed the treatment is the usual antifungals, either topical or systemic or combined depending on the site, extent, and host factors.
