Dermoscopic Features seen in Tinea Capitis, Tinea Corporis and Tinea Cruris.

Background: Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) are infections affecting the keratinized layer of the skin, nail and hair that are mainly caused by dermatophytes. Although diagnosis is routinely done clinically and confirmed by direct potassium hydroxide (KOH) microscopy, fungal culture remains the gold standard for diagnosis and speciation of aetiological agents. Dermoscopy is a recent non-invasive diagnostic tool used to identify features of tinea infections.

Hypopigmented penile fixed drug eruption.

Fixed drug eruptions (FDE) are typically associated with residual hyperpigmentation or non-pigmenting lesions. There is no distinctive histopathological feature; though, drug provocation tests (DPT) can be confirmatory within 7 days. We describe a patient with penile FDE associated with residual hypopigmentation, a prolonged refractory period to DPT and recurrent meatal stenosis.
