Where chiefly does Tinea barbae occur?

On the scalp
In the nails
Bearded area of the face
On the eyebrows

The correct answer is: Bearded area of the face

Tinea barbae is a fungal infection that primarily affects the bearded area of the face. This dermatophyte infection is caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments, making the beard area particularly susceptible due to hair follicles and the skin's natural oils. The symptoms often include redness, itching, and patches of hair loss in the beard region, differentiating it from other types of tinea infections that might be found in different parts of the body, such as the scalp, nails, or eyebrows. Understanding the specific focus of Tinea barbae helps in diagnosing and treating it effectively, which is essential for barbers and other professionals working in personal care settings.
