Caption:
This image depicts a close view of the skin surface of a patient, who had presented with a case of what was diagnosed as tinea corporis, a fungal infection involving the skin, and in this instance, was caused by the dermatophytic fungal organism, Trichophyton tonsurans. Note the shiny, dry plaque on the skin’s surface, which was roughened about its perimeter, which smoothed out in response to pressure applied by the tip of a sharpened metal probe.
