What is tinea incognito?

Tinea incognito is the name given to a fungal skin infection when the clinical appearance has been altered by inappropriate treatment, usually a topical steroid cream. It is also known as steroid-modified tinea. The result is that the original infection slowly extends and may mimic other skin disorders.
