[Fungal infections of the facial skin].
In two patients, a woman of 35 and a man of 57, tinea faciei was eventually diagnosed, after prolonged treatment with corticosteroids had taken place and a facial biopsy had been performed in the woman, without the diagnosis being made. Tinea faciei is frequently misdiagnosed, as it is fairly uncommon and many diseases must be considered in the differential diagnosis.
