| Abstract: | Mucormycosis in immunocompetent hosts is rare, and is often related to trauma. We report a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis in a 26 year old immunocompetent female due to Mucor species. A combination of Amphotericin B and surgical debridement completely eradicated the infection. |
