He initially presented to urgent care, where the dermatitis was attributed to <i>Herpes simplex</i> infection, for which he was treated with both oral valacyclovir and topical acyclovir. When no change was observed, he consulted his pediatrician, who prescribed oral clindamycin and referred him to dermatology. Physical examination revealed a crusted plaque on an erythematous and edematous base at the lower cutaneous border of the lower lip (Figure 1). Examination additionally revealed an erythematous scaling plaque on the left temporal area with associated flaking, tenderness, and hair loss and left-sided cervical lymphadenopathy. A fungal culture grew <i>Trichophyton mentagrophytes</i>, but a bacterial culture did not grow. Further investigation revealed that he had a dog; however, no other animal contact to account for a fungal reservoir was present. He was successfully treated with oral terbinafine for 6 weeks, plus ketoconazole 2% shampoo and ketoconazole 2% cream with complete reso-lution (Figure 2).</p>","PeriodicalId":94206,"journal":{"name":"Skinmed","volume":"22 3","pages":"206-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141877101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
