Tinea versicolor is a very common condition. We reported a specific follicular manifestation and proposed that this particular presentation might be related to the patient's history of previous keratosis pilaris.
A 46-year-old Asian woman of Han ethnicity presented to the clinic with trunk lesions for over a year. On physical examination: multiple light brown patches of varying size centered on hair follicles in the axillae and trunk, with the patches on the back fusing together and scales visible on the surface of the patches. Finally, through fungal microscopy and pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with folliculocentric tinea versicolor.
Follicular tinea versicolor is a rare type of tinea versicolor. It is still not clear what causes tinea versicolor to become folliculocentric. This case may suggest that patients with a history of keratosis pilaris may have a tendency to develop follicular centration in the course of other diseases.
花斑癣是一种非常常见的疾病。我们报告了一种特定的毛囊表现，并提出这种特殊表现可能与患者先前患有毛发角化病的病史有关。
一位 46 岁的汉族亚裔女性因躯干部皮损就诊，病史超过一年。体格检查：腋窝和躯干部多个大小不一的浅棕色斑片，围绕毛囊分布，背部的斑片融合在一起，表面可见鳞屑。最终，通过真菌显微镜检查和病理检查，患者被诊断为毛囊中心性花斑癣。
毛囊性花斑癣是一种罕见的花斑癣类型。目前尚不清楚是什么原因导致花斑癣成为毛囊中心性的。本例可能提示，患有毛发角化病病史的患者在其他疾病的病程中可能有向毛囊中心聚集的倾向。
