Tinea barbae is a dermatophyte infection that affects usually the bearded areas of the face and neck. Tinea barbae, as its name implies, occurs mostly in males. The incidence of tinea barbae has decreased as improved sanitation. Tinea barbae is caused by anthropophilic or zoophilic pathogens such as Trichophyton(T.) rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, Microsporum(M.) canis. We report a case of tinea barbae caused by T. rubrum in a 81-year-old woman. She presented with localized pruritic scaly erythematous patches with telangiectasia on the perioral area and both cheeks for 2 months. Also, she had suffered from tinea unguium on both feet for over 10 years. She was treated by topical steroid in other hospital but the lesion did not improve. A fungal culture from tissue of the lesions was grown on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and showed typical appearance of T. rubrum, whitish cottony colonies with reddish brown pigmentation on reverse side. In REBA Fungus-IDⓇ(M&D, Wonju, Korea), the sample from patient was found to be infected with T. rubrum. She was treated with 200 mg of oral itraconazole daily for 3 months. The skin lesions improved 1 month after treatment, and skin lesion was cured without recurrence.
