ABSTRACT
We report a case of Malassezia folliculitis associated with pityriasis versicolor in a 16-year-old man. He had asymptomatic multiple erythematous papulopustular eruptions and scaly confluent hypopigmented maculas on the anterior chest for 2 months. The diagnosis of Malassezia folliculitis was established with the mycological and histological examinations from the specimen of papulopustules on the chest. Pityriasis versicolor was confirmed by KOH examination with the scales of the hypopigmented macules on the chest. Although the association of these two dermatoses is not common, they are generally accepted as being caused by the same organism of the genus Afafaffgfio, which has different pathogenic stages. In our case, both types of skin lesions were improved after 3 weeks of antifungal therapy with systemic itraconazole (200 mg/day) and topical 1% isoconazole nitrate cream.
