Tinea Barbae Symptoms, Causes And Treatment

Tinea Barbae (also called “barber itch”, “Ringworm of the beard,” and “Tinea sycosis”) is a fungal infection of hair. Tinea Barba is due to a dermatological infection around men’s bearded area. Generally, the infection occurs in the form of a follicular swelling, or a catnip occurs in the form of cutaneous granulomatous, i.e. an old swelling reaction. This is one of the reasons for Folliculitis. This is the most common among agricultural laborers, because transmissions are more common than animal-to-humans compared to humans. The most common causes are Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T. verrucosum.

Tinea Barbae often affects farmers and is due to direct contact with infected animals. It is rarely passed from person to person.

Tinea Barbae is usually swollen with red long areas, pustules and crystalline (Kerion) around the hair. The hair can be pulled out easily. Surprisingly, it is not very itching or painful.Read More
