First described by Cheadle and Morris, this very rare condition of the hairy beard or mustache presents the hair shafts covered with nodular masses which are composed of a fungus whose spores are somewhat smaller than those of ringworm. The roots remain healthy but the hairs are brittle and readily split or break.
Treatment embraces frequent shaving or clipping, followed by the application of a mild and non-irritating parasiticide.
