An 86-year-old African American woman sought care for an asymptomatic rash on her back and flanks that she'd had for 14 months. Physical examination of her trunk revealed 3 to 6 cm annular/arcuate plaques with central clearing. The lesions also had a delicate trailing scale behind a slightly raised erythematous rim. The combination of a ring-shaped rash on the patient's torso and a foot infection led us to the diagnosis.
