During that time, he had been treated successively with desoximetasone 0.05% cream, augmented betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream, and betamethasone/ clotrimazole cream. The rash transiently improved with use of these medications but flared with any attempt to discontinue treatment. Physical examination revealed a 5-cm diameter, erythematous, atrophic patch with telangiectasis. No scaling was visible (figure 1). A potassium hydroxide preparation with Swartz-Lamkins stain revealed branching, septate hyphae, confirming the diagnosis of tinea incognito (figures 2 and 3). Topical butertafine hydrochloride cream applied twice a day and pramoxine hydrochloride lotion, a topical anesthetic, were prescribed. Topical steroids were discontinued. The patient reported flaring of redness and pruritus for I week after treatment was initiated and steady improvement thereafter. All treatment was discontinued after 3 weeks, and there was no recurrence of the rash. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
