A 71-year-old man was referred to our department on January 30, 1998 with hard red papules that had developed on the philtrum in mid-January. On January 2, the patient had received high-dose steroid therapy (pulse therapy) for cluster asthma attacks and antibiotics at the Department of Internal Medicine of our hospital. Infiltrative, protruding reddish plaques were observed on the philtrum, which contained a number of small pustules at sites corresponding to hair follicles. There was partial opacity and slight irregularity of the nail plates on the first and second toes of the right foot. Fungal elements were detected from a lesion on the mustache and the nail. Histological examination of the lesion on the philtrum revealed infiltration of inflammatory cells comprising neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages around the hair follicles. Beard hair and nail cultures revealed Candida albicans A, indicating that the patient had candidal sycosis and candidal onychia. He was treated with oral fluconazole (100 mg/day). The lesion was clinically improved within 50-days. Recently, extensive use of steroids and antibiotics has produced an increase in reports of patients with Folliculitis barbae Candidomycetica. We believe that the present case was also induced by high-dose steroid therapy and antibiotics.
