Description
Tinea imbricata is a superficial fungal infection of the skin.[1]
Symptoms
It typically appears as several itchy red-brownish, scaly small bumps, that spread to make overlapping rings and plaques.[1][2] Eventually it resembles tiles on a roof, lace, or scales of fish.[1][2] The itch and discomfort may be worse in HIV.[3]
Cause
It is caused by Trichophyton concentricum.[1] There is possibly a genetic predisposition.[4] It occurs in areas of poor hygiene.[5]

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is by the appearance of the pattern.[2] Microscopy of skin scrapings may be required.[2]

Treatment
Treatment is preferably with terbinafine.[1] Griseofulvin is another option.[1] Whitfield's cream might help remove scale.[5]
Epidemiology
The condition is limited to southwest Polynesia, Melanesia, Southeast Asia, India, and Central America.[1] The name is derived from the Latin for "tiled" since the lesions are often lamellar.[6] It is rare in developed countries.[2]
