**The answer is the bearded area of the face. That's the only place this fungal infection shows up.**

It's not the entire scalp, the nape, or the crown — those are all different regions with their own separate scalp conditions. Tinea barbae, sometimes called ringworm of the beard, is a contagious fungal infection limited to where beard hair grows, which makes it a clear no-service situation the moment you spot it.
