Tinea nigra: treatment with topical ketoconazole

W A Burke. Cutis. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

Tinea nigra is a relatively uncommon fungal infection presenting as a pigmented macule of the palms or soles. Since the lesion can easily mimic a melanocytic process, it is important to recognize the infection before recommending unnecessary surgical procedures. A case of tinea nigra that responded to treatment with topical ketoconazole is presented.
