Tinea faciei is the most frequently misdiagnosed entity among cutaneous fungal infections.
The atypical clinical features support the separation of this disease from tinea corporis. This
often lacks a distinct raised scaly border, and may mimic a photodermatosis such as lupus
erythematosus or dermatomyositis. Other photodermatoses to consider include polymorphous
light eruption, contact dermatitis, and rosacea. In this article, a 9-year-old boy with tinea faciei
presenting butterfly rash was reported because of its rarity.
