    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology

    Background:

    • Tinea nigra is a superficial fungal infection characterized by dark macules, typically on the palms or soles.
    • It is caused by melanin-producing fungi, most commonly Cladosporium werneckii.

    Observation:

    • A 33-year-old woman presented with a dark macule on her sole, a condition that had persisted for two years.
    • The patient reported potential exposure to the infection while in Israel.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination of skin scrapings revealed the presence of Cladosporium werneckii.
    • The diagnosis of tinea nigra was confirmed through laboratory analysis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the occurrence of tinea nigra in Germany, suggesting potential for wider geographic distribution.
    • Successful treatment with topical keratinolytic ointment and haloprogin-cream demonstrates effective therapeutic options.
