Tinea manuum bullosa.
We report a case of tinea manuum bullosa in a 36-year-old male, a crop and livestock farmer by trade. The lesion, resembling contact dermatitis, was located in the palm of the right hand. We isolated Trichophyton verrucosum. No other skin lesion was detected. Blood chemistry and immunology test results were normal. Treatment with terbinafine 250 mg day(-1) led to clinical and mycological healing.
