Abstract

Conclusion: The diagnosis of tinea of vellus hair should be considered in cases of tinea of the glabrous skin in exposed areas, especially in patients with a history of topical treatments. Nonanthropophilic dermatophytes are the primary causative agents of tinea of vellus hair. Systemic antifungals with prolonged duration are recommended.
