- Dermatophytids
Dermatophytids are fungus-free disseminated skin lesions resulting from induced sensitization in patients with
ringworm infections. The most common dermatophytid is an inflammation in the hands resulting from a fungus infection of the feet. Dermatophytids normally disappear when the primary ringworm infection is treated.Dermatophytids may resemble
erythema nodosum .References
