In rare cases, hair loss can spread to the eyebrows and hair on the head.

Features

Beard lichen (medically known as "tinea barbae", also known as "ringworm of the beard" in specialist literature) is a skin disease caused by fungi that occurs specifically in men. Externally, it is characterized by reddish, scaly, round patches. In highly inflammatory forms, there is also often a fever and peripheral lymph node involvement. Forced forms of beard lichen do not heal themselves, but require antimicrobial treatment.
