Human infections due to Cladosporium oxysporum are rarely known. This case report describes cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis cause by C. oxysporum in a 30-year-old female. Lesions presented as multiple coalescing ulcers on the left foot. Diagnosis was based on histology and recovery of the fungus in culture. The patient was successfully treated with potassium iodide.
