Condition / reason:   Tinea Barbae
Dosage & duration:   500 mg taken 1 a day for the period of 2 weeks

Reported Results
Benefits:   None YET
Side effects:   None
Comments:   I was diagnosed with a fungal infection of the beard (or Tinea Barbae). It is a form of follicular infection caused by a fungus of the hair follicle. My derm cultured some of the dead skin cells and in the mean time while the results are pending, put me on Griseofulvin because my symptomns were positive for fungal (a bacterial culture was also administered and was ruled negative). This is a similar treatment for cases of Ringworm of the skin or scalp. Griseofulvin has poor absorption unless taken with a fatty meal. I take (1) 500 mg tablet a day for 4 weeks until I have my next check up. I just completed week 2 and have seen NO signs of improvement.
