Tinea imbricata (also known in parts of Indonesia as “Kaskado”) is a superficial fungal infection of the skin limited to southwest Polynesia, Melanesia, Southeast Asia, India, and Central America.[1]:303[2] The skin lesions are often itchy, and mainly in the torso and limbs.[3] The name is derived from the Latin for "tiled" (imbricata) since the lesions are often lamellar.[4] It is often treated with griseofulvin or terbinafine.[4]
The risk of developing tinea imbricata is probably inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.[5][6]
Tinea imbricata is associated with Trichophyton concentricum.[4]
Tinea pseudoimbricata
The term "tinea pseudoimbricata" synonymous with "tinea indecisiva", was coined to describe a form of tinea mimicking the concentric rings of tinea imbricata, but is caused by local or systemic immunosuppression.[7] Since then, 3 cases of Trichophyton tonsurans have been associated with it,[8] as well as Trichophyton rubrum which can trigger mycosis fungoides.[9][10] Mixed infections with scabies have been described to produce tinea pseudoimbricata.[11][12]
As of 2015 in India, corticosteroid–antifungal–antibacterial combinations sold as over-the-counter drug have led to an increase in chronic, recurrent, difficult to treat fungal infections of the skin, including tinea pseudoimbricata.[13]
