November 2022 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” A 52-year-old female with extensive tinea developed erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC), a hypersensitivity reaction, after using azole antifungals. The EAC manifested as nonpruritic, annular, erythematous plaques. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, showing parakeratosis and perivascular infiltrates. The condition improved after discontinuing azoles and administering oral prednisolone, but recurred with re-exposure to azoles.
