Who's At Risk
Anyone can get facial ringworm, and it is most common in warm, moist climates. When tinea appears on the part of the face where the beard would be, it is called tinea barbae. In general, tinea infections are quite common, but facial ringworm infections happen most in teens and young adults or in anyone with an immunosuppressive disease.
