Facial pruritic skin rash in a Nigerian boy with atopic dermatitis.

Abstract

We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with annular, pruritic macules on the face who did not respond to the application of topical immunosuppressive therapy for atopic dermatitis. In this case report, we emphasize how pruritic annular macules that are not responsive to immunosuppressants should always be suspected of being tinea incognita.
