Brief Summary   Tinea corporis is a superficial fungal skin infection of the body caused by dermatophytes. Tinea corporis is present worldwide. It is defined explicitly by the location of the lesions that may involve the trunk, neck, arms, and legs. Alternative names exist for dermatophyte infections that affect the other areas of the body. These include the scalp (tinea capitis), the face (tinea faciei), hands (tinea manuum), the groin (tinea cruris), and feet (tinea pedis). The dermatophyte’s ability to attach to the keratinized tissue of skin forms the basis for the dermatophytoses (superficial fungal skin infections). The dermatophytes causing tinea corporis belong to genera Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum. Trichophyton rubrum is the most common species to cause dermatophyte infections in the last 70 years. T. Rubrum accounts for 80 to 90% of the strains. Other common isolates include Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum audouinii. Infection typically occurs with direct contact with the skin from the soil, animals, or the skin of other humans. 1,2 Tinea corporis is exceedingly common worldwide. Dermatophytes are the most prevalent agents of superficial fungal infections. Excessive heat, high relative  humidity, and fitted clothing have correlations to more severe and frequent disease.3 The lifetime risk of acquiring tinea corporis is estimated to be 10–20%. Tinea corporis occurs most frequently in post-pubertal children and young adults
