A 39-year-old woman presented to the dermatology department in January 2022 with a 3-week history of a progressively enlarging and intensely pruritic erythematous annular nodule on her left hand. The lesion started as a small blister, which was initially presumed to be a flare up of her pompholyx dermatitis. On her physician's advice, she applied clobetasol propionate ointment twice daily for 5 days; however the blister continued to increase in size until it burst, revealing raw inflamed skin.

Article Synopsis
- Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) typically causes minor skin infections, mostly affecting healthy individuals, but can lead to serious infections in immunocompromised patients.
- A unique case involved a 94-year-old man with an invasive T. rubrum infection on both forearms, which resembled cutaneous blastomycosis.
- Diagnosis is complicated as T. rubrum can present with large spore-like structures that mimic Blastomyces dermatitidis, underscoring the necessity for culture or PCR testing for accurate identification.

Dermatophytosis is a very common superficial mycosis, but there are few studies about the human immune response to dermatophytes. We aim to analyze the in situ expression of TNF-α and IL-10 in human dermatophytosis. Expression of TNF-α and IL-10 were evaluated in skin samples from 10 patients with dermatophytosis and 12 healthy subjects using an immunohistochemistry assay.
