Tinea imbricata
text:
Tinea imbricata is a superficial fungal infection of the skin limited to southwest Polynesia, Melanesia, Southeast Asia, India, and Central America. The skin lesions, often itchy, occur mainly in the torso and limbs. The name tinea imbricata is derived from the Latin for "tiled" (imbricatus) since the lesions are often lamellar. The lesions are often treated with griseofulvin or terbinafine. The condition has also become known as "Tokelau" - the name apparently references the islands of Tokelau
