Abstract:
We report the case of a 19-year-old patient who presented with recurrent circular and scaly skin changes. The patient reported wrestling as his main leisure activity. After an unsuccessful attempt at local antibiotic treatment, detailed dermatological work-up revealed the skin changes to be tinea corporis gladiatorum. According to dermatological guidelines for dermatophytosis, systemic treatment with fluconazole and local ointments containing ciclopirox olamine and ketoconazole were administered, which rapidly led to significant improvement.
