A 5-year-old boy was presented with large ulcer accompanied by surrounding follicular pustules on the left parietal scalp. Dermoscopy showed “comma” and dystrophic broken hairs. Fungal culture showed mixed growth of two types of colonies.Trichophyton mentagrophytesandMicrosporum caniswere identified by using mycological examinations. To our knowledge, this is the first case of kerion caused by the combinedTrichophyton mentagrophytesandMicrosporum canis. Treatment with oral terbinafine for 2 months was effective.
