Coexistence of pityriasis versicolor and erythrasma

G Karakatsanis et al. Mycoses. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

We describe a 53-year-old woman with pityriasis versicolor together with erythrasma that was localized in the axillary and genitocrural region. The coexistence of these infections is rare and we propose the use of methylene blue stain for the diagnosis of both diseases.
