Trichomycosis is a superficial infection that affects with more frequency the axillary and pubic hair it is characterized by the formation of nodules of different colors around the hair shaft, caused by
Corynebacterium Tenuis. An unusual case of scalp trichomhycoses in a 1 year-old girl is reported. We review this entity as well as their differential diagnoses.
