Synopsis

Tinea faciei : Erythema, Fine scaly plaque, Unilateral distribution, Pruritus, Annular configuration
Tinea faciei, also known as tinea faciale or tinea facialis, is a localized dermatophyte infection of the superficial epidermis of the face. Tropical or humid climates as well as the application of topical steroids are associated with more frequent and severe cases. Fungal organisms are transmitted to humans by direct contact with an infected individual/animal or through fomites.

Eyelid involvement is uncommon but reported.
