Summary Chronic vegetating pyoderma is usually associated with staphylococci and streptococci. A case that started as a therapeutically resistant tinea of the hand caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes is described. The vegetating skin lesion was associated with low immunoglobulin levels and impaired phagocytosis. It healed after long‐term low‐dose doxycycline, topical steroids and immunotherapy. An analogy between chronic vegetating pyoderma and recalcitrant tinea is discussed.
