The term tinea incognito has been used to describe a dermatophyte infection modified by corticosteroid treatment. Lesions are often atypical appearing and the diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed. This difficulty is often exacerbated by the random misuse of potent dermatologic preparations that can alter the initial presentation to the dermatologist. Recently, we have encountered an increasing number of patients who have obtained potent superpotent topical steroids "over the counter" to self-treat various dermatoses. We report two such cases of tinea incognito that were exacerbated and altered clinically by the use of such preparations.
“隐匿型癣”一词用于描述因皮质类固醇治疗而改变的皮肤癣菌感染。皮损通常表现不典型，诊断常常延迟或漏诊。强效皮肤科制剂的随意滥用会改变最初呈现给皮肤科医生的表现，这往往会加剧诊断困难。最近，我们遇到越来越多的患者通过“非处方”获取强效或超强效外用类固醇来自我治疗各种皮肤病。我们报告两例这样的隐匿型癣病例，其因使用此类制剂而在临床上加重并发生改变。
