A cutaneous affection, characterized by one or more broad, irregular-shaped patches, of a yellow or yellowish-brown colour, occurring most frequently on the front of the neck, breast, abdomen, and groins. The patches do not generally rise above the surface. There is usually some degree of itching. A cryptogamous growth has been found in it, to which M. Robin gives the name Micros'poron furfur. The causes are not very evident. Sulphur exterually-in any and every form-generally removes it speedily. Should there be difficulty, the external use of the remedy in baths or fumigations may succeed.
