The Rare Presentation of Deep Dermatophytosis <i>‐Trichophyton</i> in an Immunosuppressed Patient

ABSTRACT Dermatophytes typically cause superficial skin infections characterized by an active border. However, they can present atypically invading deeper in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 72‐year‐old woman with bullous pemphigoid who had received oral prednisolone for 3 months and developed umbilicated papules. Trichophyton was cultured from the lesions. Atypical dermatophytosis should be strongly suspected in patients with skin lesions who are on immunosuppressive therapy.
