Tinea corporis whose appearance has been modified by the application of high-potency topical steroids in a way that renders it no longer visually diagnostic.
Tinea incognito usually presents as nonspecific inflammatory papules and pustules without the Tinea characteristic features of tinea. In some cases, however, tinea incognito may retain the scaly appearance of tinea but be modified by local steroids so that it becomes extensive and Incognito bizarrely shaped. The condition was first described and so named in 1968 by FA Ive and R Marks (in the British Medical Journal vol. 3, pages 149-52). It is, literally, tinea in disguise, tinea veiled by treatment. Comparison of terbinafine and clotrimazole in treating tinea pedis.

E G Evans, B Dodman, D M Williamson, G J Brown, and R G Bowen Department of Microbiology, University of Leeds and General Infirmary. Conclusion
These results indicate that a one week course of terbinafine 1% cream (Lamisil) is more effective in the treatment of tinea pedis than a four week course of clotrimazole 1% cream (Lotrimin), both in terms of mycological cure and effective treatment.
