Abstract

A 69-year-old man presented with a three-month history of an erythematous rash in the axilla and groin. The lesions were stable with mild pruritus. The patient was referred to dermatology after failed empiric treatment with topical antifungal creams prescribed by his primary care physician. He reports being otherwise healthy and denied a family history of psoriasis.
