Caption:

This image depicted a view of the volar surface of a patient’s right forearm, highlighting a number of erythematous, well-circumscribed lesions, which had resulted from an infection known as tinea corporis, more commonly referred to as ringworm. The patient was a resident of a rural farm, though it is not known if this was a cause and effect relationship. The dermatophytic fungal organism was not revealed here.
