A red, itchy, circular patch in the beard area with hair loss can be a sign of beard ringworm, also known as tinea barbae. This fungal infection affects the hair follicles and may cause scaling, inflammation, pus-filled bumps, tenderness, or patchy hair loss. It can spread through contaminated razors, close skin contact, pets, or shared grooming tools, and it often worsens in warm, humid conditions. In this video, Sushil’s symptoms are explained along with the importance of early treatment. Avoid shaving the affected area, as it may spread the infection further. Daily cleansing with antifungal ingredients like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide may help, but dermatologist confirmation is important. Mild cases may need topical antifungals, while deeper infections often require oral antifungal treatment for several weeks. Timely care can prevent abscesses, scarring, permanent hair loss, and long-term skin damage.
