Delayed diagnosis, spread of the infection to critical body surfaces, resistance to antifungal drugs, and increased costs due to prolonged hospitalization and multiple treatment regimens often complicate tinea incognito. It can affect individuals of all ages and genders, but it is more common in children. Atypical clinical appearance often necessitates differentiation from other diseases such as eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, or other non-fungal skin conditions. The treatment of tinea incognito usually involves discontinuation of topical steroids or other immunosuppressive medications. Preventive measures and management of the underlying fungal infection are necessary and can be achieved with antifungal drugs. Patients should wear loose cotton clothes, use boiling water for laundry, and iron their clothing before wearing them. Additionally, they should avoid sharing bed linens, towels, clothes, and shoes. This review aims to raise awareness of tinea incognito among health practitioners, provide tips for detecting the disorder, include it in the differentials, and evaluate the available diagnostic procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13113267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T11:43:48Z","timestamp":1717155828000},"page":"3267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Tinea Incognito: Challenges in Diagnosis and Management"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Zacharopoulou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, 16121 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Tsiogka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, 16121 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0220-0762","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonios","family":"Tsimpidakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, 16121 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Androniki","family":"Lamia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, 16121 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7074-2374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitra","family":"Koumaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Department, University Hospital of Heraklion, 71110 Heraklion, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7585-1032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stamatios","family":"Gregoriou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, 16121 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.3.5611.149","article-title":"Tinea incognito","volume":"3","author":"Ive","year":"1968","journal-title":"Br.
