Tinea Faciei is a dermatophyte infection that specifically affects the skin on the face not including the beard area. It is often misdiagnosed as other skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Tinea Faciei is caused by a fungus that can be contracted from humans, animals, soil, or fomites. The most common fungi that cause Tinea Faciei are Trichophyton and Microsporum species.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The symptoms of Tinea Faciei can vary but often include redness, scaling, itching, and sometimes blistering or swelling. The rash often appears as a well-defined, ring-shaped area, but can also be less distinct.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of Tinea Faciei is often made by clinical examination and confirmed by microscopy and culture of skin scrapings.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment typically involves topical antifungal medications, but in severe or resistant cases, oral antifungal medications may be required.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
Prevention strategies include avoiding contact with infected individuals or animals, keeping the skin clean and dry, and not sharing personal items such as towels or hairbrushes.
