PEREZ-ELIZONDO, Antonio David; DEL PINO-ROJAS, Gladys Teresa  y  CONTRERAS- GUZMAN, Cristina. Tinea incognito: A report of two cases and brief review of the literature. Arch Venez Puer Ped [online]. 2013, vol.76, n.1, pp.27-29. ISSN 0004-0649.

We present two cases of children with facial ringworm modified by the prolonged use of high potency topical corticosteroids. The typical circular or oval lesions, single or multiple, with well-defined and raised redscaly edge and active borders with peripheral extension and center clearance; little inflammatory activity and often asymptomatic affecting the face, trunk and / or extremities change their morphology and evolution due to immunosuppressive effect of the drug.

Palabras clave : Tinea incognito; steroids; inmunodepression.
