AB KEY  POINTSTinea  corporis  can  present  with  patches  and  plaques  that  may  coalesce,  and  that  are  most  commonly  on  the  trunk  and  upper  and  lower  extremities.In  lighter  skin,  these  patches  and  plaques  are  often  pink  to  red  in  color  and  can  have  central  pallor  and  a  collarette  of  leading  scale.In  darker  skin,  these  patches  are  also  scaly  and  tend  to  be  pink-brown  to  violaceous  or  gray  in  color.  In  some  cases,  the  scale  may  be  thick  enough  to  obscure  the  underlying  erythema  or  dyspigmentation.Resolving  tinea  corporis  may  also  display  areas  of  hyper-  or  hypopigmentation.
