Tinea or dermatophytoses are of skin superficial and fungous infections affecting keratinized tissues such as hair, nail, and superficial layer of epidermis. This study aimed at evaluating some predisposing factors for tinea corporis, because elimination or treatment of them not only ceases spreading of the lesion but also prevents reinfection. In this descriptive cross- sectional study patients who were visited in Sina Hospital in Tabriz and had confirmed tinea corporis with direct ungal smear were selected. Other regarding were age, sex, occupation and predisposing factors. Of 76 confirmed cases, 46(60.5%) were males and 30(30.5%) were females. Tinea corporis was common in the third decade. The main predisposing factor was dry skin. Diabetes was found only in 4(5.2%) patients. According to the results of the present research, xerosis was the most common factor leading to tinea corporis in these patients rather than diabetes or lymphoma that it’s diagnosis, treatment and some simple educations may inhence improvement of tinea corporis and prevents other superficial infections too.
