Tinea Nigra is a superficial fungal infection that causes dark brown to black painless patches on the soles of the hands and feet. This infection is caused by the fungus formerly classified as "Exophiala werneckii" but more recently classified as "Hortaea werneckii". [Murray, Patrick R.; Rosenthal, Ken S.; Pfaller, Michael A.
