hi ,
I have had a white spot on my chin for almost 5 months now . Beard hair on this spot had disappeared and instead thers is little amount of whit hair were growing. Even when I shave the skin looks white on this spot. Currently there is 5 or 6 spots similar to this and it is spreading all over my beard more rapiddly for the past two weeks. Can you tell me what is this ?

Are there other signs or symptoms present? Ringworm of the beard is caused by the fungus Trichophyton verrucosum. It appears as one or more round or oval patches of baldness or scaly skin on the beard. Sometimes, circular patches spread along their outer borders while clearing at the center, giving a ringed appearance. Sharing contaminated combs, brushes, towels, telephones, clothing, sports equipment, and by direct contact with an infected person may lead to this condition. Diagnosis is through skin sample examined under a microscope. It is treated with antifungal pills in combination with antifungal shampoo or lotion. If it persists, it would be best to see your doctor for further evaluation and management.
Take care and keep us posted.
