then Tinea faciei (12.5%) , Tinea unguium (10.5%) , Tinea cruris (5%) , Tinea pedis (4.5%) , Tinea manum (1.5%),
finally Tinea barbae (0.5%) . The high percentage of infection of Tinea capitis , Tinea corporis , Tinea faciei and
Tinea cruris were within males , while females had a high percentage of infection with Tinea unguium , Tinea pedis
