Fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis (FCS) is a rare and chronic infection. Its diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion. The data on its dermoscopy and follow-up is limited in the literature. We herein report one such case with a follow-up till cure along with its dermoscopy to establish certain specific features that may be used to ascertain the response to treatment for this chronic infection and its prognosis. We found only three such cases following an extensive review of the literature, and this case emphasizes the importance of dermoscopy in recent times as the history, swab cultures, and smears may be misleading at times due to the chronic and long-standing nature of the condition.
固定型皮肤孢子丝菌病（FCS）是一种罕见的慢性感染。其诊断需要高度怀疑。关于其皮肤镜检查和随访的数据在文献中有限。我们在此报告这样一例病例，包括直至治愈的随访情况及其皮肤镜检查结果，以确定某些特定特征，这些特征可用于确定这种慢性感染的治疗反应及其预后。在广泛查阅文献后，我们仅发现三例此类病例，该病例强调了近期皮肤镜检查的重要性，因为由于该病的慢性和长期性，病史、拭子培养和涂片有时可能会产生误导。
