Tinea capitis is the invasion of the hair by dermatophytic species. It is predominantly an infection of children, although adult cases have been reported particularly with Trichophyton tonsurans. We report an adult female patient with black dot variety of tinea capitis involving the eyebrows along with scalp, body and nails.
