Abstract
Tinea barbae is a rare dermatophtytosis localized on the bearded areas of the face and neck. This fungal infection is caused by both zoophilic and antropophilic dermatophytes. Pathogenic dermatophytes can be found worldwide, but are most common in tropical climates. Tinea barbea can mimic many other skin disorders and be easy misdiagnosed. Due to diagnostic problems basic mycological examination is essential in all cases.
