Penile dermatophytosis.
Dermatophyte infections of the penis and scrotum are relatively rare compared with those involving the groin. Four cases of penile tinea due to Trichophyton rubrum are described. All patients had associated foci of fungal infection, but only one had crural involvement. Treatment with oral antifungal agents led to complete resolution of penile dermatophytosis.
