1 In this case of tinea incognito, the patient applied a topical corticosteroid, previously prescribed for atopic dermatitis, to an undiagnosed ringworm infection on the face. The papules and nodules develop when fungal elements penetrate the hair follicle and cause a deeper infection. This form of infection, termed Majocchi granuloma, may also occur on the legs of adolescent girls, where it is spread by shaving.
