| We based this review on our extensive clinical experience in managing patients in a dedicated tinea capitis clinic at a teaching hospital. |
| Hansen's disease can mimic tinea corporis by presenting as one or more annular, sometimes scaly, plaques. |
| It's not a fun topic, but your feet can suffer from a variety of fungal infections that are a form of tinea, or ringworm. |
| Also called tinea cruris, jock itch is closely related to other skin conditions with similar names. |
| The treatment consisted of broad-spectrum antibiotics, pain medication, and, of course, antifungal cream for the tinea. |
| Tinea corporis refers to tinea anywhere on the body except the scalp, beard, feet, or hands. |
