CONT

Les teignes de la barbe se présentent dans la majorité des cas comme une folliculite aiguë suppurée : plages papuleuses inflammatoires, pustuleuses et parfois verruqueuses. Il est difficile de les distinguer cliniquement d'une folliculite bactérienne et seul le prélèvement mycologique en fera la preuve.
