Tinea Barbae
Tinea barbae is an infection of the beard caused by a dermatophyte fungus. Known to affect facial hair, the condition typically appears in men. This fungus is found within equine and cattle hair and can be passed on to people who work with animals.
Identified by crusty sores, tiny pus-filled pimples and swollen red bumps, tinea barbae is an uncommon fungal condition. It's not contagious and can be managed with antifungal medications.
