What’s the difference between tinea capitis and tinea barbae?
Tinea barbae and tinea capitis are both fungal infections, but tinea capitis affects the hair and scalp, and tinea barbae affects the beard and moustache. Tinea barbae typically affects adult males and is more common among farmers, as the infection is usually spread from an infected animal.
