| Tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes | |
| This 10 year old girl developed crusted, itchy plaques on the posterior scalp. The area became slightly boggy and her family physician started her on oral Keflex. | 
|
After one week there was no improvement and scaling psoriasiform lesions appeared on her posterior neck and upper back.
