[A preschooler with a skin lesion on the face].
A 4-year-old girl presented to the paediatric department with a red squamous spot around her right eye. Based on the clinical presentation and anamnesis, we suspected a zoonotic dermatomycosis obtained via her guinea pigs. PCR of the skin flakes revealed dermatophytes.
