A patient with tinea incognita is presented together with a review of the literature of figurate erythema. Figurate lesions are emblematic for dermatology and perhaps the most picturesque efflorescences. The differential diagnosis can be broad and sometimes challenging. Many clinical entities with resembling primary and secondary efflorescences have to be considered as differentials and can be due to anti-infectious, paraneoplastic, allergic, autoimmune or other immune reactions.
