Core Tip

Core tip: Facial cosmetic procedures become popular due to the demand to attain a younger appearance and the development of cosmetic technology over the past decades. The risk of infection is increasing because of improper disinfection of the patient’s skin, incorrect injection technique, decreased general immunity, and the presence of pathogens. Here, we describe a case of Majocchi’s granuloma caused by Trichophyton rubrum, and the patient was successfully treated with itraconazole.
