Tinea Incognito
Tinea incognito is a fungal skin infection that occurs when tinea has been incorrectly managed with topical steroids. Some people might self-diagnose their rash, which can cause a fungal infection to turn into tinea incognito.5‘Tinea Incognita.’ DermNet NZ, dermnetnz.org/topics/tinea-incognita
The clinical appearance of the original tinea infection alters as it extends across the skin, and it normally presents as small scaly lesions, blisters and cracking skin. As tinea incognito spreads, the lesions can become pigmented.
