Abstract
Chromomycosis is a chronic fungal skin infection. It manifests frequently by warty or vegetative lesions in exposed areas, most often secondary to trauma. The diagnosis, nevertheless, is confirmed by the presence of fungi in the mycological examination. In fact, the treatment remains a challenge given its recalcitrant nature.
