A 7-year-old girl presented with a hyperkeratotic scale on the plantar surface of her left foot. A microscopic potassium hydroxide examination was performed and negative. Reflectance confocal microscopy was performed showing fungal hyphae and an inflammatory infiltrate confirming a diagnosis of tinea pedis.
