Abstract
Malassezia intertrigo is a very rare clinical entity in which the clinical lesions occur in intertroginous areas as erythematous scaling macules and direct microscopic examinatons of scales reveal only large numbers of yeast forms of Malassezia organism. A 59-year-old man, developed brown, finely scaling macular lesions on the inguinal areas. Direct microscopy and culture of the scalings taken from the lesional areas of the patient revealed only oval forms of Malassezia organism.
