Abstract:
We describe the case of a 45-year-old man with atopy who developed marked inflammatory lesions on the bearded area of the face caused by Tricophyton rubrum, an anthropophilic fungus not frequently correlated with kerion of the face. After starting therapy with griseofulvin, he developed typical lesions of erythema nodosum on both legs. We discuss how these lesions could be correlated with the kerion of the face.
