Abstract
Tinea faciale is a dermatophyte infection of glabrous skin of the face except bearded areas of the adult male. Tinea faciale usually has been classified as tinea corporis but recently recognized as a separate disease entity. The age distribution of patients was highest in the age group of 10 years or under. The most common pathogens are Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, T. mentagrophytes. We present an atypical case of Tinea faciale with Tinea capitis & Tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a 75-year-old woman.
