ABSTRACT
We report 16 patients of tinea cruris who presented with an asymptomatic red scrotum due to fixed dose combination creams containing antifungal agents and topical steroids applied to the thighs as a treatment of tinea cruris. The erythema resolved upon starting appropriate treatment with single molecule antifungal creams and oral antifungal drugs in about six weeks' time in majority of cases. We propose that this clinical presentation may be akin to red scrotum syndrome (RSS). Due to its asymptomatic nature in most of the cases, we propose that this could be a forme fruste of RSS.
