This is a follow up to a previous case I posted.
This rash is present under the patient's right axilla..it's been present for 4 weeks now, no changes after applying topical nystatin powder..she applied it for 2 weeks. she was then put on ketoconazole topic which made it worse.
she returned today and I did a KOH mount which is shown in the pics..what's your advise?
FYI..the center of her rash is not scaly..it appears like that due to the fact that I had to scrap it to get a prep for KOH mount.
