Majocchi’s granuloma is an uncommon fungal infection often associated with dermatophyte invasion, particularly Trichophyton rubrum. Herein, we present the case of a thirty-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus presenting millimeter papules in her low extremities. Majocchi’s granuloma manifests through a diverse range of skin lesions, emphasizing the role of histopathology in its diagnosis. Notably, chronic dermatophytosis and immunosuppression stand out as significant risk factors. This case underscores the importance of considering risk factors, accurate diagnosis through histopathology and the need for tailored treatment in immunocompromised individuals.
