'''Tinea barbae''' or “barber’s itch” is a fungal infection of the hair. Tinea barbae is due to a [[dermatophyte|dermatophytic]] infection around the [[beard]]ed area of men. Generally, the infection occurs as a follicular [[inflammation]], or as a [[cutaneous]] [[granuloma]]tous lesion, i.e. a chronic inflammatory reaction. It is one of the causes of [[Folliculitis]]. It is most common among agricultural workers, as the transmission is more common from animal-to-human than human-to-human. The most common causes are ''T. mentagrophytes'' and ''T. verrucosum''. | '''Tinea barbae''' or “barber’s itch” is a fungal infection of the hair.
